Zend Optimizer
What exactly is Zend Optimizer? Just how can it influence the overall performance of a PHP application?
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.
