Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app which is used 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 many companies that develop paid script applications, so in case you buy such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
