An error log is a listing of the error messages and warnings which showed up for one reason or another while your visitors were looking through your site. Such a log features raw info about the way the hosting server has addressed requests in various situations. An error message may appear if, for instance, a link leads to a page or a file that isn't on the server, if the code on a particular page cannot be processed, if somebody is trying to access the site or its back office via an IP address that is blocked by an .htaccess rule and so on. The info in the error log includes the IP address of the visitor, what error message showed up and the root cause for the 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 help you learn if any part of your website has a problem, which you can then fix. Consequently, your visitors will have a better experience and you may optimize the site for best performance.
