Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is used to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous companies which create paid script apps, so when you obtain such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to change it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.
