Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a popular app that is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of companies that create paid script applications, so if you get such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to change it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed faster.
