Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you need to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you're able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Many pre-made script-driven apps, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to function properly as their core code is generally not free to modify. Sites that use the instrument are often quicker as their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our in-house built cloud platform and you are able to use it whatever the shared hosting package that you select. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all accounts and it will take you only a couple of clicks to do that. Considering that we support many different 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 will need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you have not used so far. This is quite simple though - the php.ini file where you can activate and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click application, so you will not need any kind of programming skills or previous practical experience. Our website hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application which needs Zend Optimizer with no difficulties, yet when you are unsure what you should do, you can get in touch with our 24/7 tech support team and they will enable the instrument for you.
