It is because there are components on the home page that are embedded - parts of other pages, images, and so forth. All of these files shall be listed in the access log, allowing you to get a complete picture of the way your website works. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally termed "raw data" as well. An access log provides the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, browser and OS. Additional information, such as the referrer website, is usually provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your web server.
