Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of corporations which create paid script apps, so if you obtain such an application for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.
