Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is used to encode 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 numerous organizations that develop paid script apps, so in case you get such an app for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
