In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encode their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, since anybody could possibly use and change the unencrypted code without paying the required license fees. In case you obtain web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as an instrument named ionCube Loader is a part of the hosting server. This loader enables you to run encoded files and you'll often see it on the list of prerequisites for a given script app to be set up. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are normally executed a lot faster and this will boost the general speed of your website.
