Zend Optimizer is a tool, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of corporations that make paid script applications, so in case you acquire such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
