A lot of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encoded code, that isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unauthorized usage of such apps. Among the most popular encryption instruments used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it is commonly used since it can be used to change all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encoded files to run effectively on a web server subsequently is if an additional tool called Zend Optimizer is available. If you want to work with any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's installed on the server where you will host your site. Furthermore, sites that require the tool usually perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed faster.
