Lots of licensed and some free script-driven applications have encrypted code, that is not human readable. The reasoning behind this is to stop the reverse engineering as well as the unauthorized use of such apps. One of the most popular encryption tools used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it is popular because it can be used to alter any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to run the right way on a web server after that is if another instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. If you want to use any kind of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you need to ensure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your website. Furthermore, sites that need the tool can perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed more rapidly.
