Zend Optimizer
Learn just what exactly Zend Optimizer is and how it will impact the performance of any PHP app.
Plenty of licensed and some free of charge script-driven apps have encoded program code, which isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such apps. One of the most popular encryption tools used for this specific purpose is named Zend Guard and it's popular since it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to work effectively on a web server afterwards is when a second tool called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you want to use any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your website. Furthermore, websites which need the tool tend to perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed quicker.
