Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you need to protect your custom script, for example, you'll be able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A number of pre-made script-driven apps, especially ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to operate efficiently since their core code is generally not free to modify. Websites that use the tool are usually faster as their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting
Zend Optimizer comes with all servers that are part of our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. No matter which cloud hosting plan you get, you'll be able to take advantage of the instrument to guarantee that any kind of script application that requires it will function flawlessly within your account. By using a handy tool in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate many different settings with one button. Zend Optimizer will be one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first hosting account ever, you will not experience any difficulties. In the exact same area you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, thus any time you move to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Because our platform enables you to employ several PHP versions 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.
