Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of companies that make paid script apps, so in case you buy such an application for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
