Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is used to encrypt PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of corporations which develop paid script apps, so when you buy such an app for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.
