302 is a redirect, not an error and I assume it’s how that specific beacon is implemented on facebook’s side. Given the “ping” name I assume it’s some form of tracking. Are there any options for the plugin you have embedded? Are you embedding the widget asynchronously (not with a blocking script tag)? Usually they’re pretty good at not blocking onload.

Looks about as async as you will be able to control on your side. I wouldn’t worry about it at this point since the only thing it is affecting is the facebook widget itself. If you REALLY want to get it out of the way you can run the script in an onload handler but the user experience will be the same (it just won’t count towards your onload time).
