You can use console.log for

  1. see some information as admin of site, something you don't want others to see. Like alert, or document.write, but only for you, not for visitors of your site. So you can preview information you want to put as alert first in console.log and after only change console.log to alert.
  2. For debugging if there's error in your document. Program shows you a line with error in the right side of error message.

To use it only click eye in top left corner of your document to preview it. It will open new page. Then click in top left corner three dots (if you using google chrome), search for more tools - developer tools. Second tab is console tab (after Elements), but there's others.

Hope it helps you to understand more.
