Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app 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 program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of corporations which create paid script apps, so in case you obtain such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
