Access Log

Categories: A, SEO Glossary

An Access Log is a file on a web server that records every request made to the server for individual files. These requests can come from human users browsing the website or bots that are crawling the site for various purposes. Each entry in the log provides details such as the requested file, the time of the request, the IP address of the requester, and the outcome of the request, among other data. Access logs are crucial for website administrators to monitor traffic, understand user behavior, and enhance website security and performance.
