APC (PHP Opcode Cache)

What does the abbreviation 'APC' signify? Why is the existence of APC in your account essential as far as your PHP-based websites are concerned? How can you turn on this feature?

APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP sites hold their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content that needs to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. These actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the server for each page that is loaded. While this cannot be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there are numerous sites which feature the exact same content on a lot of of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is quite useful for this kind of Internet sites as it caches the previously compiled code and displays it each time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. This will not only greatly reduce the server load, but it'll also raise the speed of any Internet site several times.
