Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of companies which create paid script apps, so in case you purchase such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
