Binary counters and accurate reporting

System

Binary counters (tracking pixels) are incredibly useful for tracking use of asynchronous page elements, however, contemporary browsers will not attempt to load new images directly before redirection. In the case a binary counter is used directly preceding a redirection, it will not report the majority of the traffic that passes through.

I ran into this issue - the request wasn't being made to Optimost server when it redirected. To remedy this, I had to set a timeout before it redirected so it gave enough time to make the request. Any alternatives that would work better than using timeout?
