Lots of licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have encrypted program code, that isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering as well as the not authorized use of such applications. Among the most popular file encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is known as Zend Guard and it's popular due to the fact that it can be used to change any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encrypted files to work efficiently on a web server subsequently is when another tool called Zend Optimizer is available. In the event that you'd like to employ any paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your site. Also, sites that require the tool tend to perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed more quickly.
