Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a popular app which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of companies that make paid script applications, so when you acquire such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
