Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of corporations which develop paid script applications, so when you acquire such an application for your website, you'll 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 protect your code and make sure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
