In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encrypt their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, because anyone could possibly use and change the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. In case you obtain web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a tool named ionCube Loader is present on the hosting server. This loader allows you to run encrypted files and you will often find it on the list of prerequisites for a particular script application to be installed. Since the encoded files are already precompiled, they're generally executed more rapidly and this will raise the general speed of your website.
