Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is used to cache the output code of script apps. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and could accelerate such a site up to three times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a website visitor opens some web page, the script links to a database to retrieve some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it is shown to the visitor. If the output code does not change however, that's the case with sites which show the exact same content all of the time, these actions result in excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled code and delivers it any time visitors browse a website, so the database doesn't need to be accessed and the code does not need to be parsed and compiled continuously, that in turn lowers the site loading time. The module can be very efficient for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.
