To avoid the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encode their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, since anyone could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. If you purchase web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as an instrument called ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader allows you to run encoded files and you will often see it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script app to be installed. Since the encoded files are already precompiled, they are usually executed much faster and this can boost the overall speed of your site.
