<p>Looking to give your website a speed boost? PHP APC (Alternative PHP Cache) is a powerful opcode caching system that can dramatically improve the performance of your PHP applications. Storing compiled script bytecode in shared memory allows PHP APC to minimize the overhead associated with parsing and compiling code for each request. Consequently, this leads to improved load times and an enhanced user experience. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to install PHP APC on you <a href="https://www.bluehost.com/hosting/vps" target="_blank">VPS</a> or <a href="https://www.bluehost.com/hosting/dedicated" target="_blank">dedicated server</a>, unlocking a significant performance upgrade for your website.</p>
