Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular application which 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 lot of corporations that develop paid script apps, so if you obtain such an app 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 secure your program code and make sure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
