Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that's needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you want to protect your custom-made script, for example, you'll be able to use Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A lot of pre-made script-driven apps, especially ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to operate correctly because their core code is generally not free to modify. Sites that use the instrument are usually quicker since their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
