Lots of licensed and some free script-driven applications have encoded program code, which is not human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted usage of such applications. Among the most popular file encryption tools used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it's widespread due to the fact that it can be used to change all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encrypted files to work efficiently on a web server after that is when one more instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. In case you wish to use any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is set up on the server where you will host your website. In addition, websites which need the tool can perform better as their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed quicker.
