APC (PHP Opcode Cache)
Learn what the acronym ‘APC’ stands for, what exactly APC can do PHP overall performance-wise and how to enable it for your account.
Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and will boost such a site as much as three times. PHP websites are dynamic and any time a visitor opens a page, the script hooks up to a database in order to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being displayed to the website visitor. In case the output code does not change however, that's the case with websites that show the exact same content all the time, these actions trigger needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it whenever visitors browse a website, so the database does not have to be accessed and the program code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled over and over again, which in turn lowers the Internet site loading time. The module could be pretty effective for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etc.
