Plenty of licensed and some free of cost script-driven applications have protected code, that is not human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the not authorized usage of such applications. One of the most popular encryption instruments used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it is commonly used due to the fact that it can be used to change any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to run correctly on a web server subsequently is when an extra instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. If you wish to employ any type of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your site. Also, websites which require the tool tend to perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed quicker.
