> Logging every page visited is not a technical requirement of serving the requested resource.

How will you know which page is having problems being served or is having performance problems?

You won’t, but that’s not what was asked.

Logging the requested resource is not a technical requirement of serving that resource.

  • Depends how you define “technical requirement” but I’d say 404 for example is an indication of a failure to serve a given resource. If you don’t have logging you won’t know unless someone complains which means you’ll only catch the most visible issues. Same goes for performance - everywhere I’ve ever worked serving a resource was tightly coupled to “how fast can the user retrieve that resource”.
