Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of corporations which make paid script applications, so in case you obtain such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.
