Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's required to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you need to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you are able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Numerous pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to work properly as their core code is often not free to change. Internet sites that use the instrument are normally speedier as their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
