Lots of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have protected code, which is not human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering as well as the illegal usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it's popular because it can be used to change any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the protected files to run efficiently on a web server after that is if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you wish to work with any kind of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it is installed on the server where you will host your website. Furthermore, sites that need the instrument tend to perform better as their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed faster.
