Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous companies that create paid script apps, so when you get such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
