A lot of licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encrypted program code, that is not human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unauthorized use of such applications. Among the most popular encryption tools used for this specific purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is very popular as it can be used to alter any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encrypted files to work efficiently on a web server after that is if one more instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you wish to use any kind of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your site. Also, sites that need the instrument can perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed quicker.
