Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of companies which create paid script applications, so in case you buy such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
