In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encode their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid applications in particular, because anybody could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without paying the necessary license fees. When you acquire web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a software instrument known as ionCube Loader is installed on the hosting server. This loader enables you to run encoded files and you will often find it as one of the prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. Since the encoded files are already precompiled, they are usually executed more quickly and this will improve the overall speed of your website.
