An error log is a comprehensive report of the warnings and error messages that site visitors encountered as they were surfing your website. This is the raw info that the web server has gathered and it can help you locate potential problems with your site and resolve them in a timely manner, in order to improve the site’s functionality and to raise the users’ full satisfaction. You can discover several things in an error log - the time when the error showed up, the specific path to the file that the site visitor could not access, the IP address the request came from, and the reason this request couldn't be processed. There are various 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 adequately by the hosting server, a site access attempt by a blocked IP address, and many others.
