An access log is a text file which contains a full list of all of the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a website visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you may find many files inside the log. It is because there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, graphics, and so on. These files shall be listed in the access log, so you're able to get a full picture of the way your site performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally described as "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, Internet browser and Operating System. Additional information, like the referrer website, is sometimes included too. A log file may be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your hosting server.
