Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app 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 plenty of organizations that develop paid script applications, so if you get such an application for your site, you will probably 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 secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
