In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, a lot of developers encrypt their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, as anybody would be able to use and modify the unencrypted code without paying the necessary license fees. If you acquire web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a software tool named ionCube Loader is present on the hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encoded files and you will often see it on the list of prerequisites for a given script app to be installed. Because the encoded files are already precompiled, they're generally executed a lot faster and this can raise the general speed of your site.
