In order to stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encrypt their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, because anybody would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. When you buy web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as a tool called ionCube Loader is a part of the website 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 app to be set up. Because the encoded files are already precompiled, they're generally executed faster and this will improve the general speed of your website.
