Lots of licensed and some free of charge script-driven apps have encrypted code, that isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption instruments used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it is very popular since 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 work properly on a web server afterwards is if one more instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. In the event that you would like to work with any kind of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it is set up on the server where you will host your website. In addition, sites that require the tool tend to perform better as their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed quicker.
