Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many companies which create paid script apps, so when you get such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.
