To avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, many developers encrypt their code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, since anybody would be able to use and modify the unencrypted code without paying the necessary license fees. When you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is installed on the hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encrypted files and you will often see it among the prerequisites for a certain script application to be installed. Since the encoded files are already precompiled, they're ordinarily executed a lot quicker and this will boost the general speed of your site.
