An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a given site. Every single file that was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have one webpage with three embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log will contain a total of six entries - one for every of the six files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log usually provides the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. In some cases you can also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The info an access log file provides 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 efficiency of an Internet site, besides the web stats that your server may have created.
