Zend Optimizer
Zend Optimizer is a helpful software instrument that can boost the performance your PHP apps. Learn why and how you can activate it.
Many licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have protected code, that isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the illegal use of such applications. Among the most popular file encryption tools used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it is widely used because it can be used to change any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to work correctly on a web server subsequently is if one more tool called Zend Optimizer is there. When you want to work with any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your website. In addition, websites that need the instrument will perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more quickly.
