Many licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have protected code, that isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted use of such applications. One of the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it is widely used because it can be used to alter any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encrypted files to run effectively on a web server afterwards is if one more tool called Zend Optimizer is present. In case you would like to use any kind of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it's set up on the server where you will host your site. Also, sites which need the tool can perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed faster.
