Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular application that is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of companies which create paid script apps, so if you obtain such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to change it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.
