APC, which is an acronym for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script app, that can speed up a database-driven Internet site several times. Each time a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the website content which should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, then the result is shown to the site visitor. While this is necessary for websites with routinely changing content, it's a complete waste of processing time and system resources for a website which doesn't change, for instance an informational portal which displays the exact same content all the time. When the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them every time a user loads them. As this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, the site will load a lot quicker. APC is really useful in particular for scripts with larger source code.
