What is the Zend Optimizer?

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been freely available since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by taking PHP's intermediate code through multiple Optimization Passes, which replaces inefficient code patterns with efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform the exact same operations as the original code, only faster.

In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the ZendGuard.

The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies developed the PHP scripting engine, also known as the Zend Engine.
