A lot of licensed and some free script-driven apps have encoded program code, which is not human readable. The idea behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unwanted usage of such apps. Among the most popular encryption software tools used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it is popular as it can be used to change 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 if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. When you want to use any paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you need to ensure that it is set up on the server where you will host your site. Furthermore, sites which need the instrument tend to perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed more quickly.
