Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many corporations which develop paid script applications, so in case you obtain such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

If you obtain a cloud hosting plan from us, you have the option to pick the PHP version, which will be active for your account based on what your script applications require. You can activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you are able to use a small software tool that will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, therefore you will not need any kind of previous knowledge because enabling Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the required program code in a specific domain folder. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you will be able to contact our technical support team at any time.
