Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app that is employed to encrypt 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 a large number of corporations which create paid script applications, so in case you get such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to change it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
