Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, which is needed to execute files encoded 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 illegal usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you'd like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you can take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Lots of ready-made script-driven apps, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to work effectively because their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Websites which use the tool are generally quicker as their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
