That depends on whether you occasionally scan your logs (or stats) for evidence of hotlinking -- people putting image links on their Websites that cause their visitors browsers to fetch the images from your server. If this is not a concern, then you might want to disable logging for image requests. Jim

Personally I use: <FilesMatch "(\.(gif¦jpg¦png¦ico¦css¦js)¦robots\.txt)$">
SetEnv image-request 1
SetEnv dont-log 1
</FilesMatch>
CustomLog logs/access.log complete env=!dont-log Does setting "dontlog" instead of my own "dont-log" mean u can skip the "env=" parameter for CustomLog? SN

Also matters for things link hitcount (or bytecount) tracking. If you don't log those requests, you can't track them at all; you can't see which images are getting hit hard, and figuring out how much traffic you're pushing in a day becomes tricky (to say the least). If these aren't issues, then by all means, look into not logging. Me, I log every request, even on the sites where I need to roll/compress my logs multiple times per day to keep things running smoothly. =)

I don't log image requests unless they have an off-site referrer.
<Files ~ "\.(gif¦jpe?g¦png¦ico)$">
SetEnvIf intra_site_referral 1 common_image_request
</Files>
CustomLog access_log combined env=!common_image_request
