Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and will speed up such a site as much as three times. PHP websites are dynamic and every time a website visitor opens some web page, the script connects to a database in order to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being shown to the site visitor. If the output code does not change however, that's the case with sites that display the very same content at all times, these actions result in needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it each time visitors browse a website, so the database doesn't have to be accessed and the program code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled continuously, that in turn decreases the website loading time. The module could be pretty effective for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.
