Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many companies that develop paid script apps, so if you obtain such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
