Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app that is employed to encrypt 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 lots of organizations that develop paid script apps, so when you get such an app for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
