APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script app, that can boost a database-driven website several times. Each time a PHP web page is accessed, the script pulls the content which should be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is shown to the visitor. While this is necessary for Internet sites with frequently changing content, it's a complete waste of processing time and resources for an Internet site that does not change, for instance an informational portal which displays identical content on a regular basis. Once the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a website visitor loads them. As this saves the time to get content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your Internet site will load considerably quicker. APC is really helpful in particular for scripts with massive source code.

APC is available with every single shared hosting package that we offer and you could activate it with only a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you will notice the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven websites.

A php.ini file with several lines in it placed in a domain folder will permit you to set what release of PHP this particular website will use and whether APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over the ones for the account in general, so you could run different scripts and use different web accelerators for websites which are in the same account.
