In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encode their program code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, as anybody could possibly use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the required license fees. If you purchase 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 website hosting server. This loader enables you to run encoded files and you'll often find it on the list of prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed more quickly and this can improve the overall speed of your site.
