Plenty of licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have encrypted code, that isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the not authorized usage of such apps. One of the most popular encryption software tools used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it is very popular due to the fact that it can be used to change any kind of PHP 4 or PHP 5 code. The sole way for the encoded files to run the right way on a web server after that is when an extra instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. When you wish to use any type of paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you need to make sure that it's set up on the server where you'll host your site. Furthermore, sites that require the tool can perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed faster.
