An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a certain Internet site. Every file which was requested for some reason shall be listed, so if you have one page with three embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the 6 files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log typically shows the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, Internet browser and IP address. Oftentimes you may also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The info an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a PC and used to write reports on the overall performance of a site, in addition to the web statistics that your web hosting server may have created.
