Lots of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have protected program code, that is not human readable. The idea behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unauthorized usage of such apps. Among the most popular file encryption instruments used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it is used widely since it can be used to change all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to work correctly on a web server after that is if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you would like to use any type of paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your website. Also, websites which require the instrument generally perform better due to the fact that their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed faster.
