Answer 1

If you need to send some analytical data just before unloading the document, choose navigator.sendBeacon() method instead of XMLHttpRequest.

sendBeacon() method is designed to perform non-blocking sending of a small amount of data.

But check canIuse report first, since the method is not supported globally yet.
