Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you want to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you're able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Numerous ready-made script-driven applications, especially ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to operate efficiently since their core code is generally not free to change. Websites that use the instrument are generally quicker because their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is present on our custom-built cloud platform and you'll be able to use it whatever the cloud website hosting package that you choose. It can be activated from the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the accounts and it'll take you as little as a couple of clicks to do that.
