Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application that is used to encrypt PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of companies that develop paid script apps, so if you obtain such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
