Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The second encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you want to protect your custom script, for instance, you can 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. Various ready-made script-driven apps, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to function efficiently since their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Websites which use the instrument are often quicker because their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
