Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of companies which develop paid script applications, so if you buy such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
