A lot of licensed and some free script-driven applications have protected code, that isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the unauthorized usage of such applications. Among the most popular file encryption software tools used for this specific purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is popular as it can be used to change any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to work the right way on a web server after that is when an additional tool called Zend Optimizer is present. When you would like to use any paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it is installed on the server where you will host your site. Furthermore, sites that require the instrument will perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed more quickly.
