AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
APC Object Cache Backend is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 14 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros

How APC Object Cache Backend works
APC Object Cache provides a persistent memory-based backend for the WordPress object cache. APC must be available on your PHP install.
An object cache is a place for WordPress and WordPress extensions to store the results of complex operations. On subsequent loads,
this data can be fetched from the cache, which will be must faster than dynamically generating it on every page load.
The APC Object Cache backend is also compatible with Batcache, the powerful full page caching engine that runs on WordPress.com
Be sure to read the installation instructions, as this is not a traditional plugin, and needs to be installed in a specific location.
