Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The second encrypts files written in PHP 4 and PHP 5 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you need to protect your custom script, for example, you're able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Countless pre-made script-driven applications, especially ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to work effectively since their core code is often not free to change. Websites that use the tool are normally quicker as their code is already optimized and precompiled.
