Lots of licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encrypted code, that isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the not authorized usage of such applications. Among the most popular encryption tools used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it's commonly used since it can be used to change any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to work efficiently on a web server after that is when an additional instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. In case you wish to use any paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it is installed on the server where you will host your website. In addition, websites that need the tool generally perform better as their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more quickly.
