An access log is a complete list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a certain site. Every file that was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have a single page with three embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, web browser and IP address. Oftentimes you may also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your site. The info an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of a site, besides the web stats that your hosting server may have produced.
