APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP Internet sites store their content within a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that should be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the site visitor. These actions need some processing time and include reading and writing on the server for every single page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for websites with constantly changing content, there're many sites that present the very same content on a number of of their pages constantly - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, and many others. APC is exceptionally useful for this kind of websites since it caches the previously compiled code and displays it every time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled all over again. Not only will this reduce the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any website several times.
