Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations which develop paid script applications, so when you get such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.
