Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application 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 a lot of organizations which develop paid script apps, so in case you get such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.
