An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a particular Internet site. Each and every file that was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have one page with 3 embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the six files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The data an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It could 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 that your server may have created.
