Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app 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 plenty of organizations that create paid script applications, so if you obtain such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
