A lot of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encoded program code, which isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the illegal usage of such apps. Among the most popular encryption software tools used for this specific purpose is named Zend Guard and it's very popular since it can be used to change 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 after that is if an additional instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. When you would like to work with any kind of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it's set up on the server where you will host your website. Also, sites that require the instrument tend to perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed more rapidly.
