Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application which is employed to encrypt 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 a large number of organizations that develop paid script apps, so when you obtain such an application for your site, you'll probably 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 shield your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
