Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to run files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many companies that make paid script apps, so when you acquire such an application for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to change it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed faster.
