Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app that is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of corporations that make paid script apps, so if you get such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your site visitors or clients will be unable to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed faster.
