Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of companies that make paid script applications, so in case you acquire such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
