A lot of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encrypted code, that is not human readable. The idea behind this is to stop the reverse engineering as well as the unauthorized use of such apps. Among the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this specific purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is used widely as it can be used to alter any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the protected files to work the right way on a web server afterwards is if an extra tool called Zend Optimizer is there. In the event that you would like to employ any paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's installed on the server where you'll host your website. Furthermore, websites that need the instrument generally perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more rapidly.
