An access log is a complete list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a certain website. Every single file which was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have a single webpage with three embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log will contain a total of six entries - one for each of the 6 files which were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log usually provides the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s Operating System, Internet browser and IP address. Oftentimes you can also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your site. The information an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the performance of a site, besides the web statistics which your server may have created.
