Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of organizations that develop paid script applications, so in case you purchase such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all servers that are part of our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. No matter which cloud hosting you pick, you'll be able to use the software tool to guarantee that any script app that requires it will work properly in your account. Using a convenient tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all of the web hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate many different settings with one button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this is your very first web hosting account ever, you will not encounter any troubles. In the same section you can also select the PHP release for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, so whenever you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Since our platform enables you to employ a couple of PHP releases at once, more advanced users can activate the tool for an individual site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
