what is the best way to make analytic api calls without degrading user experience?
I am building webapp and needs to send analytic events on every user action.
I am currently doing it by making a XHR request to the analytic-api (fire and forget) in a setTimeout on the click or similar events.
there will be some events like:
The app will be making heart beat api calls which is as frequent as
1000 millisecondsThe app will also be making analytic api call while user is watching
a video whenever a new fragment is downloaded by player.
e.g.
function userClickedSegment() {
//... making the POST call
}
setTimeout(userClickedSegment, 10);
I do not want to hamper the user expirence that's why I am calling the api after some milliseconds.
If you know any better way to do the same please suggest. Also is there a way to handover the api calling task to service worker or a background thread and should it be done?
