An error log is a listing of the error messages and warnings that appeared for one reason or another while your visitors were looking through your website. Such a log includes raw info on the way the server has dealt with requests in various situations. An error message might appear if, for instance, a link leads to a website or a file that isn't on the server, if the code on a given page can't be processed, if anyone is trying to access the website or its back office via an IP address that is blocked by an .htaccess rule and so forth. The info in the error log offers the IP address of the site visitor, what error message showed up and the cause for the web server to display it, the entire path to the file that caused the error and the specific time of the event. Having this information will permit you to find out if any part of your site has an issue, that you can then take care of. For that reason, your visitors will have a better experience and you will optimize the website for optimum performance.
