An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a certain site. Every file which was requested for some reason shall be listed, so if you have just one webpage with 3 embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for every of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log normally contains the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your website. The info that an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a PC and used to write reports on the overall performance of a website, independent of the web statistics that your server may have produced.
