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 could speed up such an Internet site as much as three times. PHP websites are dynamic and each time a visitor opens some page, the script links to a database in order to get some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the website visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, which is the case with Internet sites that display the very same content all of the time, these actions result in unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it every time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not have to be accessed and the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled again and again, that in turn reduces the website loading time. The module could be pretty helpful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.
