Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's required to run files encoded 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 code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous corporations that create paid script apps, so when you obtain such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.
