An access log is a text file which contains a full list of all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find many files inside the log. It is because there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, pictures, etcetera. All of these files shall be listed within the access log, so that you can get a full picture of the way your website performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are often described as "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. Additional information, including the referrer website, is usually included as well. A log file may be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your hosting server.
