APC, which is an acronym for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, that could speed up a database-driven site several times. Every time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the website content that needs to be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for Internet sites with frequently changing content, it's a waste of processing time and resources for an Internet site that does not change, for example an informational portal which displays the same content at all times. Once the web pages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a user loads them. Since this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, the website will load significantly quicker. APC is really efficient particularly for scripts with massive source code.

It's also possible to select if all websites using a specific PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled only for selected websites and not for all Internet sites in the website hosting account. The last option is useful when you intend to employ a different web accelerator for several of your websites. These customizations are carried out effortlessly by using a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
