Plenty of licensed and some free of charge script-driven apps have protected program code, that is not human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted use of such apps. One of the most popular encryption software instruments used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it's popular since it can be used to modify any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to run effectively on a web server after that is if another tool called Zend Optimizer is there. If you would like to work with any kind of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it's set up on the server where you'll host your site. In addition, websites that require the tool usually perform better as their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed faster.
