Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is employed to encrypt 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 companies which develop paid script applications, so in case you get such an application for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.
