Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of companies which develop paid script apps, so in case you buy such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is accessible on our custom cloud platform and you will be able to use it whatever the cloud website hosting package that you choose. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all of the accounts and it'll take you as little as a few clicks to do this. Given that we support a number of different releases 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 have to activate Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you have not used so far. This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can activate and deactivate various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click application, therefore you don't need any kind of computer programming skills or previous expertise. Our hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer with no difficulties, still when you're unsure what to do, you're able to contact our 24/7 technical support team and they can enable the instrument for you.
