Zend Optimizer
What exactly is Zend Optimizer? How can it affect the functionality of a PHP app?
Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you need to protect your custom-written script, for example, you can use Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. Numerous ready-made script-driven applications, in particular ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to work correctly as their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Websites which use the tool are usually quicker since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
