Zend Optimizer
Learn what exactly Zend Optimizer is and in what ways it can affect the overall performance of a PHP application.
Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread application 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 code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many organizations which make paid script apps, so when you purchase such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to change it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
