Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known 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 a lot of companies which develop paid script applications, so in case you obtain such an application for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer often perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
