Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of companies that create paid script applications, so in case you get such an application for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will be unable to change it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
