APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script application, that can speed up a database-driven site several times. Every time a PHP web page is accessed, the script pulls the content that needs to be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the code, and then the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for websites with regularly changing content, it is a waste of processing time and resources for a site which does not change, such as an informational portal which shows the exact same content at all times. When the pages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a user accesses them. Since this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your website will load considerably faster. APC is really effective particularly for scripts with massive source code.
