Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, which is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The second encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you would like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you can take advantage of Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. A lot of pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to operate correctly because their core code is often not free to change. Sites that use the instrument are typically faster because their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
