Lots of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encoded program code, which isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unauthorized usage of such applications. Among the most popular encryption software instruments used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is commonly used because it can be used to alter any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to work the right way on a web server after that is when a second tool called Zend Optimizer is present. In case you wish to work with any paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you need to ensure that it's set up on the server where you will host your site. In addition, sites that require the instrument will perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed more rapidly.
