Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you need to protect your custom script, for example, you can take advantage of Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. A number of pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function properly as their core code is generally not free to change. Sites which use the instrument are typically faster as their code is already optimized and precompiled.
