Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you want to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you'll be able to use Zend Guard and your code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. A lot of ready-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to function effectively since their core code is generally not free to modify. Websites that use the tool are usually quicker as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
