Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you need to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you are able to employ Zend Guard and your program code won't be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Various pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function correctly as their core code is usually not free to change. Internet sites which use the tool are typically speedier since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
