Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application 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 code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of organizations that create paid script applications, so in case you get such an application for your site, you'll most likely 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 site visitors or clients will be unable to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is present on our custom-made cloud platform and you will be able to use it whatever the website hosting plan that you choose. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all accounts and it will take you only a few clicks to do this. Since we support several different releases of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), you will have to enable Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you haven't used yet. This is really easy though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click instrument, therefore you don't need any kind of computer programming skills or previous experience. Our website hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application which requires Zend Optimizer without any troubles, yet if you are not sure what to do, you're able to contact our 24/7 technical support team and they'll enable the tool for you.
