An error log is a comprehensive report of the warnings and error messages which site visitors faced whilst they were looking through your website. This is the raw information that the hosting server has accumulated and it could help you locate potential problems with your website and handle them in a timely manner, as a way to boost the site’s performance and to increase the users’ satisfaction. You can discover several things within an error log - the time when the error showed up, the specific path to the file the site visitor could not access, the IP address the request came from, and the reason this request cannot be processed. There are different reasons for your site visitors to see an error message - a link leading to a non-existent file, a script website that can't be processed correctly by the server, a website access attempt by a blocked IP address, and so on.

A second click on the exact same button shall deactivate the function, but you shall still be able to get the log by clicking on the Download link, that is available in the very same section.
