Zend Optimizer is a tool, that's required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is employed to encode 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 lots of companies that create paid script applications, so when you purchase such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to change it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
