- Netlora is a free, browser-based tool for diagnosing internet connection quality beyond standard speed tests.
- It specifically measures bufferbloat, which is extra latency caused by network congestion during real use, like downloads or video calls.
- Netlora assesses loaded latency (ping under load), jitter (latency variance), and packet loss to identify issues that affect real-time applications.
- Solutions often involve enabling Smart Queue Management (SQM) with algorithms like fq_codel or CAKE on your router.
- The tool prioritizes privacy, storing results only by random ID without accounts or IP addresses.
