Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known 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 plenty of corporations which develop paid script apps, so if you buy such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
