To stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a lot of developers encrypt their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, because anybody could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. When you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a software instrument known as ionCube Loader is present on the hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encrypted files and you will often find it on the list of prerequisites for a given script application to be installed. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed much faster and this can raise the overall speed of your site.
