Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous corporations that develop paid script applications, so if you acquire such an application for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers that are part of our revolutionary cloud web hosting platform. No matter which web hosting you acquire, you can activate the tool so that any script application which needs it will work properly in your account. By using a handy software tool in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the web hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate different functions with just a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this is your very first web hosting account ever, you won't encounter any issues. In the exact same section you can also select the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, so whenever you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. As our platform enables you to take advantage of a couple of PHP versions at the same time, more experienced users can activate the tool for a specific site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
