Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of companies that create paid script applications, so if you obtain such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our custom-built cloud platform and you're able to use it whatever the shared hosting package that you select. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all accounts and it'll take you only several clicks to do that. Considering that we support numerous 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'll need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you haven't used yet. This is quite simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and deactivate various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click instrument, so you don't need any computer programming skills or previous expertise. Our website hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app which requires Zend Optimizer without any troubles, but when you're not sure what you should do, you'll be able to contact our 24/7 tech support team and they can activate the instrument for you.
