Lots of licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have encoded code, that is not human readable. The reasoning behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the not authorized use of such applications. One of the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it is widespread due to the fact that it can be used to change any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to run properly on a web server after that is when one more tool called Zend Optimizer is there. If you would like to employ any type of paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it's set up on the server where you'll host your website. Also, sites which require the instrument generally perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed more quickly.
