Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of companies which develop paid script apps, so in case you buy such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.

Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting

If you obtain a website hosting from our company, you can pick the PHP release, that will be active for your account depending on what your script apps need. You can activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you are able to employ a small tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any previous experience as enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users can do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the needed code in a specific domain folder. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you can contact our tech support crew at any time.
