Numerous licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encrypted code, that is not human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering as well as the illegal use of such applications. Among the most popular file encryption tools used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it's commonly used as it can be used to modify any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to run properly on a web server afterwards is when one more tool called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you want to use any kind of paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your website. Also, websites that need the instrument can perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed faster.
