Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is employed to encode 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 numerous corporations which make paid script applications, so in case you get such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to change it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
