An access log includes a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. 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 contains the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the hottest files on your site. The log, which is also frequently named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. A good example why you may require this sort of a log is if you want to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website stats.
