Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and could speed up such a site up to 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and any time a website visitor accesses a web page, the script connects to a database in order to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being displayed to the guest. If the output code doesn't change however, that's the case with websites which show the very same content at all times, such actions trigger excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it every time visitors browse a website, so the database does not need to be accessed and the code does not need to be parsed and compiled again and again, that consequently reduces the Internet site loading time. The module could be extremely useful for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting
APC is available with each and every cloud hosting plan that we offer and you could enable it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your applications. A few minutes later the framework will be working and you'll be able to take advantage of the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we provide several versions of PHP that could also be selected through Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP in the same account. Our advanced cloud web hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use an alternative web accelerator for any website and it interferes with APC, you could activate or deactivate the latter for a certain site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.
