Plenty of licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encrypted code, which isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is commonly used due to the fact that it can be used to alter any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to run correctly on a web server after that is when an additional tool called Zend Optimizer is present. In case you'd like to use any paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it's installed on the server where you'll host your website. Also, websites that require the tool can perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed faster.
