An error log is a list of the error messages and warnings that showed up for one reason or another while your visitors were looking through your site. This kind of a log includes raw info about the way the server has handled requests a number of situations. An error message may appear if, for instance, a link leads to a webpage or a file that's not on the web server, if the code on a certain page cannot be processed, if someone is trying to access the site or its back office using an IP address which is blocked by an .htaccess rule and so on. The information within the error log offers the IP of the website visitor, what error message came out and the cause for the server to display it, the entire path to the file which generated the error and the precise time of the event. Having this info will help you determine if any part of your site has an issue, which you could then take care of. For that reason, your site visitors will have a better experience and you will boost the website for optimum performance.
