Zend Optimizer
What exactly is Zend Optimizer? How will it impact the general performance of a PHP application?
Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you would like to protect your custom-made script, for example, you are able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Numerous ready-made script-driven applications, especially ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to work efficiently since their core code is often not free to modify. Websites which use the tool are normally faster because their code is already optimized and precompiled.
