APC (PHP Opcode Cache)
What exactly does the acronym 'APC' signify? Just why is the existence of APC in your account important as far as your PHP-based sites are involved? How to activate this feature?
Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is used to cache the output code of script applications. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and will speed up such a website up to 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a visitor accesses some webpage, the script links to a database in order to retrieve some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being displayed to the website visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, that's the case with sites which display the exact same content at all times, these actions result in excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it each time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not have to be accessed and the program code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently lowers the site loading time. The module could be rather effective for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and so on.
