APC, which stands for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script application, which could speed up a database-driven site several times. Any time a PHP page is opened, the script pulls the content which has to be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the program code, then the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for Internet sites with regularly changing content, it's a waste of processing time and system resources for an Internet site that doesn't change, for example an informational portal that shows identical content on a regular basis. Once the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them each time a user loads them. As this saves the time to get content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your website will load much quicker. APC is really efficient in particular for scripts with larger source code.
