Add official support for PHP APCu - revisited.
In an "idea" posted in 2018 - and declined -, you said "As far as I know APC/APCu is outdated..."
That is incorrect. APC is outdated because PHP now uses it internally. APCu, however, is the new version of APC for external use, and it's very much up to date.
For certain applications, APCu is significantly faster than memcached or redis.
I have a shared server and can't use APCu because Plesk (still) doesn't officially support it.

This request has not received many votes. We must decline it.
However, you will find a guide how to use APCu with Plesk, even though it is not officially supported, here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003211209
APCu is a PECL extension. These can be installed using the PECL installer built into Plesk. Tools & Settings > General Settings > PHP Settings > Click on PHP version > button "Manage PECL Packages"

APCu is an extension for PHP to optimize the speed.
This should be available for Plesk Linux and Windows for PHP 5.x and PHP 7.x -

yes, I can install using pecl, but it would be nice to be in the packages so people would not have to manually recompile when updates are done. APCU will still be popular a long time.

When using the alternative PHP version supplied, it would be great if additional to OPCACHE we would have APCU which can be used for apps like WordPress or Drupal to get higher performance by caching data in the ram.
As PHP is used with PHP-FPM, this is a great deal for us.
