Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you want to protect your custom script, for example, you can take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Lots of pre-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to function correctly because their core code is usually not free to change. Sites which use the tool are often quicker since their code is already optimized and precompiled.
