Zend Optimizer
What is Zend Optimizer? How will it affect the general performance of a PHP app?
Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of organizations that make paid script apps, so when you obtain such an application for your site, you will most likely 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 protect your code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
