Zend Optimizer is a tool, that 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 large number of corporations which create paid script applications, so when you purchase such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
