A lot of licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have encoded program code, which is not human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the not authorized usage of such applications. One of the most popular encryption tools used for this particular purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is used widely since it can be used to modify any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encoded files to run the right way on a web server subsequently is when one more tool called Zend Optimizer is available. In the event that you want to use any type of paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is set up on the server where you will host your site. Furthermore, sites that need the instrument can perform better due to the fact that their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed faster.
