Zend Optimizer is a tool, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app 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 program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of companies which make paid script apps, so when you buy such an application for your website, 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 use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
