Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app which is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of companies that create paid script apps, so when you get such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
