Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of corporations that create paid script applications, so in case you acquire such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
