Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of companies that create paid script applications, so when you purchase such an application for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to change it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.
