Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application which is employed to encrypt 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 many companies which make paid script apps, so if you buy such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.
