Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is used to cache the output code of script applications. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and can speed up such an Internet site as much as three times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a website visitor accesses a webpage, the script hooks up to a database in order to get some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it's displayed to the site visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, that's the case with sites that show the exact same content all the time, such actions result in needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it whenever visitors browse a site, so the database does not need to be accessed and the program code does not need to be parsed and compiled continuously, which consequently decreases the site loading time. The module can be extremely efficient for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, and so on.
