Zend Optimizer

What is Zend Optimizer? How can it influence the performance of a PHP application?

Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app that is used to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of companies that create paid script apps, so in case you obtain such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.
