An access log is a thorough list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a certain Internet site. Any file which was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have one page with 3 embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log will contain a total of six entries - one for any of the six files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log normally shows the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s OS, web browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information that an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a PC and used to write reports on the efficiency of an Internet site, aside from the web stats your web hosting server may have created.
