An error log is a list of the error messages and warnings that appeared for one reason or another while your visitors were surfing around your website. This kind of a log contains raw information about the way the web server has dealt with requests in various situations. An error message may appear if, for instance, a link leads to a website or a file that's not on the hosting server, if the code on a given page can't be processed, if somebody is trying to access the website or its back office using an IP address that's blocked by an .htaccess rule and many others. The data within the error log features the IP of the website visitor, what error message showed up and the reason for the hosting server to show it, the entire path to the file that triggered the error and the exact time of the event. Having this information will allow you to figure out if any part of your website has a problem, that you can then deal with. For that reason, your visitors will have a better experience and you'll supercharge the Internet site for optimum performance.
