An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a given site. Every file that was requested in some way shall be listed, so if you have just one page with 3 embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for any of the six files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log normally contains the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s OS, browser and IP address. Oftentimes you may also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info which an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to write reports on the overall performance of a website, besides the web stats that your web hosting server may have generated.
