An access log is a text file that contains a complete list of all 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 application and a visitor opens just the home page, for example, you may find many files inside the log. The reason is that there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, and so forth. All of these files will be listed inside the access log, allowing you to get a detailed picture of the way your website functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently termed "raw data" too. An access log contains the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. More information, like the referrer 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 provided by your website hosting server.
