Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you would like to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you can 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, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to function properly as their core code is generally not free to change. Websites that use the instrument are often faster because their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
