Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is employed to encode 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 a lot of corporations which develop paid script applications, so if you acquire such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your code and make sure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
