Lots of licensed and some free of charge script-driven apps have encrypted program code, that is not human readable. The reasoning behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted usage of such applications. Among the most popular encryption instruments used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it is widespread as it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to work the right way on a web server after that is if a second tool called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you'd like to use any kind of paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your website. Furthermore, websites which require the instrument will perform better due to the fact that their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed faster.
