Lots of licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have encrypted code, that is not human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the not authorized usage of such applications. One of the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this specific purpose is named Zend Guard and it's widespread due to the fact that it can be used to change all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encrypted files to run correctly on a web server afterwards is when a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. If you want to use any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it's installed on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, sites which need the tool will perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed quicker.
