An access log is a complete list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a certain site. Every single file which was requested in some way shall be listed, so if you have only one webpage with three embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the six files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log typically provides the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s OS, web browser and IP address. In some cases you may also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of a site, aside from the web stats that your hosting server may have created.
