Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is used to encode 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 numerous corporations that make paid script applications, so when you acquire such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present 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 make sure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.
