Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The second encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you want to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you are able to employ Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Numerous pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to work properly because their core code is usually not free to change. Websites that use the instrument are typically quicker as their code is already optimized and precompiled.
