Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular application that 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 plenty of companies which develop paid script applications, so in case you purchase such an application for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to change it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
