Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of companies that create paid script apps, so when you get such an application for your website, you will 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 secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
