Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and could boost such a site as much as three times. PHP sites are dynamic and each time a website visitor accesses a page, the script connects to a database in order to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the guest. In case the output code doesn't change however, which is the case with sites that display the same content all of the time, such actions trigger excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it every time visitors browse a site, so the database doesn't need to be accessed and the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that in turn minimizes the website loading time. The module can be very efficient for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

A few minutes later the framework will be working and you will be able to take advantage of the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven websites. As we offer different releases of PHP which could also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP within the same account. Our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform is very adaptable, so if you use an alternative web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you could activate or deactivate the latter for a particular site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.
