PHP Accelerators
Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2006 5:44 pmOne of the best ways to see a dramatic improvement in your server is to install a PHP accelerator. There are several different free products out there that will provide a significant performance increase right out of the box. These scripts make use of system memory, code optimization, and cacheing to provide substantial performance gains for your server. Try one of these accelerators:
APC (Alternative PHP Cache)
APC is a free, open, and robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code.
eAccelerator
eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.
XCache
XCache is a fast, stable PHP opcode cacher that has been tested and is now running on production servers under high load. It is tested (on linux) and supported on all of the latest PHP cvs branches such as PHP_4_3 PHP_4_4 PHP_5_0 PHP_5_1 PHP_5_2 HEAD(6.x).
