Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you wish to protect your custom script, for example, you're able to use Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Various ready-made script-driven applications, in particular ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to work properly as their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Internet sites which use the instrument are usually speedier because their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
