Activating PHP OPcache can significantly improve the performance of your PHP applications by caching precompiled scripts in shared memory. This eliminates the need for PHP to recompile the same scripts for each request, leading to faster execution times.

Check if OPcache is already enabled:

zend_extension=opcache.so
