Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of companies that make paid script apps, so when you obtain such an app for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it.

Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
