In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encrypt their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without paying the needed license fees. If you purchase web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as a tool named ionCube Loader is installed on the website hosting server. This loader enables you to run encrypted files and you'll often see it as one of the prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're normally executed faster and this will boost the overall speed of your website.
