Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of corporations which create paid script applications, so if you acquire such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.
