To stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encode their code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, because anybody could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without paying the needed license fees. If you acquire web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is installed on the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encoded files and you will often see it on the list of prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're ordinarily executed quicker and this will enhance the general speed of your website.
