Zend Optimizer is a tool, that's required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations which create paid script applications, so in case you acquire such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer often perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
