Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you want to protect your custom script, for instance, you will be able to use Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Many pre-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to function properly as their core code is often not free to change. Websites which use the instrument are often quicker because their code is already optimized and precompiled.
