Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, which is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you wish to protect your custom-made script, for example, you're able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Numerous pre-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function efficiently because their core code is usually not free to change. Sites which use the instrument are often faster since their code is already optimized and precompiled.
