Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many companies which develop paid script apps, so when you purchase such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
