Zend Optimizer
Learn exactly what Zend Optimizer is and how it can impact the entire performance of any PHP application.
Many licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encrypted program code, which is not human readable. The concept behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unauthorized use of such applications. One of the most popular file encryption instruments used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it is widespread because it can be used to alter any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to run efficiently on a web server afterwards is when one more instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you'd like to use any type of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, sites that require the instrument usually perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more rapidly.
