Zend Optimizer is a tool, that's required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app 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 code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of corporations that make paid script apps, so when you obtain such an app for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed faster.
