APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP sites keep their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content which has to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. These actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the web server for each and every page that is opened. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there're various sites that present the very same content on a number of of their pages all of the time - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of sites since it caches the previously compiled code and shows it any time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code does not have to be parsed and compiled all over again. Not only will this decrease the server load, but it will also boost the speed of any website a few times.

In case you need to run websites with various system requirements or use different web accelerators for some of them, you can customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file in the preferred domain folder.
