Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations which develop paid script apps, so when you obtain such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
