Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of corporations that create paid script apps, so in case 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. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
