Zend Optimizer

What precisely is Zend Optimizer? How will it affect the functionality of a PHP application?

Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is used to encode 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 a lot of organizations that develop paid script applications, so in case you obtain such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.
