An access log contains a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is thorough, so if you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually features the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most popular files on your Internet site. The log, that's also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you might need this sort of a log is if you wish to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site statistics.
