Working with Optimizer+

The Optimizer+ runs out-of-the-box (by default, after installation). Optimizer+ allows you to gain a performance boost by reducing code compilation time. When PHP code is compiled for the first time, it is saved in the server’s memory. Each time the code is called, the pre-compiled version is used instead of waiting for the code to compile, which causes a delay each time the code is used.

Note:

Using the Optimizer+ should not be confused with caching. The Optimizer+ saves a compiled script to the server's memory, while Caching saves the script’s output to the server’s memory.

The general recommendation is to always keep the Optimizer+ loaded to boost Web application performance.
