Plenty of licensed and some free script-driven apps have protected program code, that isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted use of such apps. One of the most popular encryption software tools used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it's commonly used as 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 work efficiently on a web server subsequently is when another instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. If you want to employ any type of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your site. In addition, websites which require the instrument generally perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed more quickly.
