An access log contains a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is thorough, so in case you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes the date, the Operating System, 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 website. The log, which is also typically referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats that you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you might need this sort of a log is if you intend to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.
