Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you want to protect your custom-made script, for example, you will be able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Numerous ready-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to operate efficiently since their core code is generally not free to change. Sites which use the instrument are generally quicker since their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
