To prevent the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encrypt their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. If you get web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a tool known as ionCube Loader is a part of the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you'll often see it on the list of prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're usually executed faster and this will improve the overall speed of your website.
