A lot of licensed and some free script-driven applications have protected program code, that isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the not authorized use of such applications. Among the most popular encryption software tools used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it is widely used as it can be used to alter all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encoded files to run the right way on a web server after that is if a second tool called Zend Optimizer is available. If you want to use any type of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is set up on the server where you will host your website. Furthermore, sites which need the instrument will perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed faster.
