Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many companies which develop paid script applications, so when you get such an app for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
