Many licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have encrypted code, that is not human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the not authorized usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption instruments used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it is widely used as 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 efficiently on a web server after that is when one more tool called Zend Optimizer is there. When you wish to work with any kind of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your website. In addition, websites which need the tool can perform better as their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed faster.
