Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of organizations that make paid script applications, so if you buy such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it.

Websites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
