Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app that is used to encrypt 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 numerous corporations that develop paid script applications, so in case you purchase such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
