Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of corporations which make paid script apps, so if you get such an app 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 also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
