Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of corporations that create paid script apps, so when you buy such an application for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
