Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is used to encrypt 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 many corporations which develop paid script applications, so if you obtain such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed faster.
