A lot of licensed and some free script-driven applications have protected program code, that isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such apps. Among the most popular encryption instruments used for this particular purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is commonly used due to the fact that it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to run the right way on a web server after that is when another instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. When you want to employ any type of paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you need to make sure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your website. Furthermore, sites that need the tool can perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed more quickly.
