To stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encode their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, as anybody would be able to use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the required license fees. If you purchase web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a software instrument named ionCube Loader is present on the hosting server. This loader enables you to run encrypted files and you will often find it among the prerequisites for a certain script app to be installed. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they are generally executed much faster and this will raise the general speed of your site.
