Zend Optimizer
Learn what Zend Optimizer is and the way it can change the general performance of a PHP application.
Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you need to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you'll be able to use Zend Guard and your program code will not 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, particularly ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to operate effectively as their core code is ordinarily not free to modify. Sites that use the instrument are often speedier since their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
Zend Optimizer is available on our in-house built cloud platform and you can use it regardless of the
shared hosting package that you select. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all accounts and it'll take you just a few clicks to do this. Due to the fact that we support several different versions 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 activate Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you have not used so far. This is quite simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click software tool, so you do not need any programming skills or previous practical experience. Our website hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app that requires Zend Optimizer without difficulties, still when you are unsure what you should do, you're able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support crew and they can enable the tool for you.
