In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encrypt their code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone would be able to use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the needed license fees. If you get web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a tool named ionCube Loader is present on the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you'll often find it on the list of prerequisites for a certain script application to be set up. Because the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed much faster and this can boost the overall speed of your website.
