An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a particular Internet site. Every single file which was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have one webpage with three embedded graphics, 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 which were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, Internet browser and IP address. Occasionally you can also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your site. The info that an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a PC and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of a site, aside from the web stats that your web hosting server may have generated.
