Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular 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 a great number of organizations which create paid script applications, so in case you obtain such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will be unable to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.

Zend Optimizer is available on our custom-made cloud platform and you'll be able to use it regardless of the cloud web hosting package that you choose. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the accounts and it'll take you as little as several clicks to do this.

This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click instrument, therefore you do not need any coding skills or previous expertise. Our hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app which requires Zend Optimizer without any difficulties, still if you're unsure what you should do, you are able to contact our 24/7 technical support crew and they can activate the instrument for you.
