Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of organizations that make paid script applications, so in case you buy such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed faster.
