Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many corporations that create paid script apps, so when you purchase such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.
