APC (PHP Opcode Cache)
What does the acronym 'APC' mean? Just why is the presence of APC in your account essential as far as your PHP-based sites are involved? How to activate this option?
APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP websites save their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content which needs to be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. All these actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the hosting server for each and every page which is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for sites with constantly changing content material, there're a lot of sites that have the exact same content on a number of of their webpages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etcetera. APC is very useful for such Internet sites because it caches the previously compiled code and displays it any time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled again. Not only will this decrease the server load, but it will also boost the speed of any site a few times.
