Zend Optimizer
Learn exactly what Zend Optimizer is and also just how it might alter the overall performance of a PHP application.
A lot of licensed and some free script-driven apps have encrypted program code, which is not human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the not authorized use of such applications. One of the most popular encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it is commonly used because it can be used to change all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encrypted files to work the right way on a web server afterwards is if an additional instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In the event that you want to use any paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your site. Furthermore, sites which need the instrument will perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more quickly.
