Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you want to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you will be able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Lots of pre-made script-driven apps, especially ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to operate effectively because their core code is generally not free to modify. Websites which use the instrument are typically quicker since their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
