Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of corporations that create paid script apps, so in case you purchase 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 are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
