Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that's needed to execute files protected 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 not authorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you would like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you're able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Countless pre-made script-driven apps, especially ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to function correctly as their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Sites which use the tool are normally faster since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

If you get a hosting service from our company, you're able to pick the PHP release, that will be active for the account depending on what your script apps need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you're able to use a compact software tool which will allow you to handle the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, so you will not need any kind of previous experience because activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users will be able to do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the needed program code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the tool, you'll be able to contact our technical support crew at any time.
