Zend Optimizer
What precisely is Zend Optimizer? How can it impact the effectiveness of a PHP application?
Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you wish to protect your custom-made script, for example, you will be able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Various ready-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to work properly since their core code is ordinarily not free to modify. Sites which use the tool are normally quicker as their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
