A lot of licensed and some free of charge script-driven apps have protected code, that is not human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering as well as the not authorized usage of such applications. One of the most popular file encryption tools used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it is commonly used since it can be used to modify any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to run effectively on a web server after that is if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In the event that you want to employ any kind of paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it's installed on the server where you will host your website. Also, websites which require the tool will perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more rapidly.
