Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many corporations which create paid script applications, so if you purchase such an app for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
