Numerous licensed and some free of cost script-driven applications have encoded program code, which is not human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the illegal use of such applications. One of the most popular encryption software instruments used for this specific purpose is known as Zend Guard and it's very popular because it can be used to change any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encrypted files to run effectively on a web server subsequently is if an extra tool called Zend Optimizer is available. When you'd like to use any type of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your site. In addition, websites that require the instrument tend to perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more quickly.
