Plenty of licensed and some free of charge script-driven apps have encrypted program code, that is not human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering as well as the illegal usage of such apps. One of the most popular encryption instruments used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it's widespread because it can be used to modify any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the protected files to run effectively on a web server subsequently is when another instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. In case you'd like to employ any kind of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, websites which require the instrument will perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed quicker.
