Rediscover the old, weird internet

Handmade, hand-coded, hand-picked. The internet your algorithm forgot.

About this page

Old Internet is a way back into Web 1.0, when sites were small, hand-coded, and personal, and a homepage actually meant somebody's home. We curate from archives, mirrors, and still-running personal sites that feel like the late-90s and early-2000s web.

What you'll find

Personal homepages with hit counters, guestbooks, and 'under construction' GIFs
Niche fan pages and obsessive hobby sites
Webrings, link lists, and weird indie portals
Archived geocities-style pages still online today
Hand-coded HTML written by humans, not site builders

How it works

Hit the button and we send you to a random old-internet page from our list. Some are still maintained, some are frozen in amber. Either way, it's a different texture from anything in your feed today.

Modern sites are designed. Old internet sites were made. The difference is huge once you start clicking.
