Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, which is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you would like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you are able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Many pre-made script-driven applications, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to operate efficiently because their core code is ordinarily not free to modify. Internet sites which use the tool are normally speedier because their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting
Zend Optimizer can be found on our custom-made cloud platform and you'll be able to use it whatever the website hosting plan that you select. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all accounts and it will take you just several clicks to do this. Since we support a number of different releases of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), you'll need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you haven't used yet. This is very simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and deactivate various PHP extensions can be handled with a point-and-click application, and you will not need any programming skills or previous practical experience. Our website hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app that requires Zend Optimizer with no difficulties, yet in case you are not sure what you should do, you are able to get in touch with our 24/7 tech support crew and they can activate the instrument for you.
