Many licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encoded program code, which isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the illegal usage of such apps. Among the most popular encryption instruments used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is popular because it can be used to change any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to run effectively on a web server afterwards is if an additional instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. In case you wish to employ any kind of paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it is set up on the server where you will host your website. Furthermore, websites that require the tool usually perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more quickly.
