Zend Optimizer
What precisely is Zend Optimizer? Just how can it impact the overall performance of a PHP application?
Many licensed and some free script-driven applications have encoded program code, which isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the illegal usage of such applications. One of the most popular encryption instruments used for this particular purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is very popular because it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to run efficiently on a web server subsequently is when another instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. When you'd like to use any type of paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your website. Furthermore, websites which need the tool will perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed quicker.
