Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application that is used to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous companies which create paid script applications, so in case you get such an application for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
