Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you'd like to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you are able to employ Zend Guard and your code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. A number of ready-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to work effectively since their core code is ordinarily not free to modify. Sites which use the tool are generally quicker since their code is already optimized and precompiled.
