Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous companies that make paid script apps, so in case you purchase such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed faster.
