Numerous licensed and some free script-driven apps have encrypted code, that isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unauthorized usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption software tools used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is widespread because it can be used to change any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to run correctly on a web server subsequently is when an additional instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. When you'd like to employ any kind of paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you need to ensure that it's installed on the server where you will host your site. Also, sites which need the tool tend to perform better as their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed faster.
