Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4 and PHP 5 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you would like to protect your custom-written script, for example, you can employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. A large number of pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to operate properly because their core code is generally not free to modify. Websites which use the tool are generally faster because their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
