Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of corporations that develop paid script applications, so when you get such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
