A lot of licensed and some free script-driven applications have protected program code, that is not human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unauthorized use of such apps. Among the most popular encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it's used widely due to the fact that it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to work properly on a web server after that is when an extra tool called Zend Optimizer is present. If you'd like to employ any kind of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, sites which need the instrument usually perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed more quickly.
