A lot of licensed and some free script-driven applications have encrypted code, which is not human readable. The idea behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted usage of such apps. Among the most popular encryption software instruments used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it's popular because it can be used to change all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to work effectively on a web server subsequently is when one more tool called Zend Optimizer is there. When you want to employ any type of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's installed on the server where you'll host your website. Furthermore, websites which need the tool tend to perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed quicker.
