Numerous licensed and some free script-driven apps have encoded code, which isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the illegal usage of such applications. One of the most popular encryption software instruments used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it's very popular as it can be used to alter any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encrypted files to run effectively on a web server after that is if an additional instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. When you wish to work with any kind of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it's installed on the server where you will host your site. Also, sites which require the tool tend to perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more quickly.
