Plenty of licensed and some free of cost script-driven applications have encrypted code, that isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering as well as the illegal usage of such applications. Among the most popular encryption tools used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it is used widely because it can be used to alter all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encoded files to run efficiently on a web server afterwards is if an extra tool called Zend Optimizer is there. In the event that you'd like to employ any kind of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your website. Also, sites which require the instrument tend to perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed faster.
