Zend Optimizer
What exactly is Zend Optimizer? Just how can it impact the overall performance of a PHP app?
Numerous licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have protected code, which isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the illegal usage of such apps. Among the most popular encryption instruments used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it's widespread as it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encoded files to work the right way on a web server after that is when a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. If you wish to use any type of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your site. In addition, sites that require the tool can perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more rapidly.
