Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many organizations which develop paid script applications, so when you buy such an application for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.
