Numerous licensed and some free of cost script-driven applications have encrypted code, that isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the illegal usage of such applications. Among the most popular encryption tools used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it is used widely because it can be used to alter any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to run effectively on a web server subsequently is if one more instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you want to work with any paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your site. Also, websites which need the instrument generally perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed more rapidly.
