Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application 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 which develop paid script apps, so if you get such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your site visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
