In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encrypt their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. This 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. In case you get web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a tool named ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encrypted files and you will often find it on the list of prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. Due to the fact that the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are usually executed more rapidly and this will improve the overall speed of your website.
