An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a certain website. Each and every file that was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have only one page with 3 embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the 6 files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log usually offers the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s OS, browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your site. The data that an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a PC and used to prepare reports on the performance of a site, besides the web stats which your hosting server may have created.

All of the logs are downloadable, so you can conveniently save and manage them on your PC or laptop.
