Numerous licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encrypted program code, that isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unwanted usage of such applications. One of the most popular encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it's popular due to the fact that it can be used to change any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to run correctly on a web server subsequently is if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. If you'd like to use any type of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it is set up on the server where you will host your site. Furthermore, websites that need the instrument can perform better due to the fact that their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more rapidly.
