Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of organizations which create paid script applications, so in case you buy such an application for your website, you'll most likely 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 program 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 generally perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
