To stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encode their code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, as anybody would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. In case you obtain web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as a software instrument called ionCube Loader is available on the website hosting server. This loader enables you to run encoded files and you'll often see it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script app to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're ordinarily executed a lot faster and this can improve the overall speed of your website.
