An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a particular Internet site. Every file which was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have a single webpage with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log normally offers the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, browser and IP address. In some cases you may also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information that an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of an Internet site, in addition to the web statistics your web hosting server may have generated.
