It improves performance by scanning PHP's intermediate code and passing it through multiple Optimization Passes to replace inefficient code patterns with more efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster. </p><p>In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Guard. </p><p>The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from <a href="http://www.zend.com">Zend Technologies</a>. Zend Technologies also developed the PHP scripting engine, known as the <a href="http://www.zend.com/products/zend_engine">Zend Engine</a>.</p></body></html>
