Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that is required to run files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you want to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you'll be able to employ Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Lots of ready-made script-driven apps, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function properly because their core code is generally not free to change. Websites which use the tool are generally speedier as their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
