Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, which is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you would like to protect your custom-written script, for example, you can employ Zend Guard and your code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Lots of pre-made script-driven applications, especially ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to function properly because their core code is generally not free to change. Internet sites which use the tool are typically faster as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

Zend Optimizer is present on our custom-built cloud platform and you can use it whatever the hosting package that you choose. It can be activated from the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the accounts and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do this. Because we support a number of 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 activate Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you haven't used yet. 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 instrument, so you don't need any kind of coding skills or previous experience. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer with no troubles, but in case you're unsure what to do, you are able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support crew and they can enable the instrument for you.
