Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that's needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The second encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you wish to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you can employ Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A lot of pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to operate correctly as their core code is generally not free to change. Websites that use the tool are often quicker since their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
