Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The second encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you want to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you can use Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A lot of pre-made script-driven apps, especially ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to work properly because their core code is generally not free to modify. Websites that use the tool are normally faster since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
