Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known app which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous companies which create paid script apps, so in case you acquire such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
