Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations that create paid script apps, so when you acquire such an application for your website, you will most likely 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 make sure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
