Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many corporations that make paid script applications, so if you get such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to change it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
