Numerous licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have protected program code, that is not human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering as well as the unauthorized use of such applications. One of the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it's popular since it can be used to alter any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to work effectively on a web server after that is when another tool called Zend Optimizer is there. In case you want to work with any type of paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's set up on the server where you will host your website. Also, websites which need the instrument will perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed faster.
