Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of corporations which make paid script apps, so if you get 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 may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to change it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
