Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of organizations that create paid script apps, so in case you buy such an app for your website, you'll probably 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 protect your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
