Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app which is employed to encrypt 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 numerous organizations which develop paid script applications, so if you purchase such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will be unable to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.
