An error log is a list of the error messages and warnings that appeared for one reason or another while your visitors were looking through your website. This type of a log includes raw information about the way the server has addressed requests in different situations. An error message may appear if, for instance, a link leads to a webpage or a file that is not on the web server, if the code on a particular page cannot be processed, if any individual is trying to access the Internet site or its back office through an IP address which is blocked by an .htaccess rule and so forth. The information within the error log features the IP of the site visitor, what error message appeared and the reason for the hosting server to display it, the full path to the file that triggered the error and the exact time of the event. Having this information will permit you to find out if any part of your site has an issue, which you could then resolve. Therefore, your site visitors will have a better experience and you'll optimize the website for best performance.
