Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of corporations that make paid script apps, so if you get such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
