Zend vs IonCube?

[dgh1943]

I searched the forums for this but found no satisfactory answer: I just ran the test on another client website and (for the first time) everything passed ... but it said "Zend Preferred" ... why is Zend preferred when there is a choice? I have had to use IonCube on the other two domains. Thanks. dgh

Zend is preferred because it has less overhead than ionCube. Zend is installed at the server level where ionCube has to load separately.

It's not that big of a difference. But it's slightly better.

That's clear. Thanks. dgh
