Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is used to encode 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 plenty of corporations that develop paid script applications, so in case you purchase such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to change it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
