Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers which is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and will boost such a website up to 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and every time a user accesses a web page, the script links to a database to retrieve some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being displayed to the guest. In case the output code does not change however, that's the case with Internet sites that display the very same content all of the time, these actions trigger excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it whenever visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not need to be accessed and the code does not need to be parsed and compiled again and again, that in turn minimizes the website loading time. The module could be rather useful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.
