To prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, a lot of developers encode their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone could possibly use and change the unencrypted code without paying the necessary license fees. In case you obtain web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as an instrument known as ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you will often find it on the list of prerequisites for a certain script application to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed much faster and this will enhance the general speed of your website.
