An error log is a detailed report of the warnings and error messages which site visitors encountered when they were surfing around your Internet site. This is the raw info that the hosting server has accumulated and it can help you discover potential issues with your site and handle them in a timely manner, in order to enhance the site’s efficiency and to raise the users’ satisfaction. You can find many things in an error log - the time when the error appeared, the exact path to the file that the visitor could not access, the IP the request came from, and the reason this request cannot be processed. There are numerous reasons for your website visitors to see an error message - a link leading to a non-existent file, a script site that cannot be processed properly by the hosting server, a site access attempt by a blocked IP address, and so on.
