Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of companies which develop paid script applications, so if you obtain such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it.
