+# Send analytics data using the Beacon API
+
+The `navigator.sendBeacon()` method is intended to be used for sending analytics data to a server.
+
+```js
+navigator.sendBeacon("/log", analyticsData);
+```
+
+- It sends the HTTP POST request asynchronously, with no access to the server response.
+- The request is non-blocking, causing no delay to unload or the next navigation.
+
+See [documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Beacon_API) on usage.
