Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to run files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application which is used to encrypt 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 a large number of organizations which develop paid script apps, so when you purchase such an app for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.
