Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you wish to protect your custom-made script, for example, you will be able to use Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Numerous pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to operate correctly as their core code is generally not free to modify. Internet sites that use the instrument are usually quicker as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
