Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application which 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 plenty of companies which create paid script apps, so in case you acquire such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed faster.
