Zend Optimizer
What precisely is Zend Optimizer? Just how can it influence the performance of a PHP app?
A lot of licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have protected program code, that isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such apps. Among the most popular encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it's widespread because it can be used to alter any PHP 4 or PHP 5 code. The sole way for the protected files to work effectively on a web server subsequently is when an additional tool called Zend Optimizer is there. In the event that you'd like to use any kind of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you need to make sure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your site. Furthermore, sites that require the tool will perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed more rapidly.
