In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, numerous developers encode their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone would be able to use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. When you obtain web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a software tool named ionCube Loader is present on the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encrypted files and you will often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script app to be set up. Because the encoded files are already precompiled, they're normally executed much faster and this can increase the general speed of your website.
