Zend Optimizer
What precisely is Zend Optimizer? How will it impact the functionality of a PHP application?
Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you would like to protect your custom-written script, for example, you will be able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Countless ready-made script-driven apps, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function correctly as their core code is usually not free to modify. Websites that use the tool are generally speedier since their code is already optimized and precompiled.
