An error log is a listing of the error messages and warnings which showed up for one reason or another while your visitors were browsing your site. Such a log provides raw information about the way the hosting server has handled requests in different situations. An error message may appear if, for example, a link leads to a website or a file that's not on the hosting server, if the code on a specific page cannot be processed, if any individual is trying to access the website or its back office via an IP address that's blocked by an .htaccess rule and many others. The info in the error log offers the IP of the website visitor, what error message showed up and the reason for the server to display it, the entire path to the file that induced the error and the specific time of the event. Having this data will permit you to find out if any part of your site has an issue, which you can then deal with. For that reason, your website visitors will have a better experience and you will boost the site for best performance.
