Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of companies which make paid script applications, so if you buy such an app for your site, 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 shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed faster.
