Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous organizations that make paid script apps, so in case you get such an application for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
