An access log is a complete list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a certain website. Every single file which was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have a single page with three embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files that were accessed when the visitor opened the page. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, Internet browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the efficiency of an Internet site, in addition to the web stats your hosting server may have produced.
