Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you want to protect your custom-made script, for example, you will be able to employ Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A lot of ready-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to work correctly because their core code is usually not free to modify. Internet sites which use the instrument are generally quicker since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
