Many licensed and some free of cost script-driven applications have encrypted program code, that is not human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the not authorized usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption tools used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is commonly used as it can be used to modify any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encoded files to work properly on a web server subsequently is if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In the event that you want to work with any kind of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your site. Also, sites that require the instrument can perform better as their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed more rapidly.
