Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you need to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you're able to use Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Many pre-made script-driven apps, in particular ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to operate correctly because their core code is often not free to change. Websites that use the tool are usually speedier since their code is already optimized and precompiled.
Zend Optimizer in Hosting
If you purchase a hosting plan from us, you're able to choose the PHP version, which will be active for your account based on what your script apps require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you will be able to take advantage of a compact tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, which means that you will not need any kind of previous knowledge as activating Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the needed code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the instrument, you're able to contact our technical support crew anytime.
