Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known 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 a number of corporations which create paid script applications, so in case you buy such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
