Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you want to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you're able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Various ready-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to operate correctly since their core code is generally not free to change. Internet sites which use the tool are typically quicker as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
