An access log is a text file that contains a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for example, you might find a lot of files inside the log. It is because there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, pics, and so forth. All these files will be listed in the access log, so you're able to get a detailed picture of the way your website performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently called "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More information, including the referrer Internet site, is oftentimes provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your hosting server.
