Among the most popular encryption software instruments used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it's widespread as it can be used to alter all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to run correctly on a web server afterwards is when a second tool called Zend Optimizer is there.

Furthermore, websites that need the tool tend to perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more rapidly.
