The Useless Web

What The Useless Web actually is

Tim Holman's page holds a single button that fires you at a randomly chosen useless website, then offers another button to do it all again. The list behind it is hand-picked, so results skew towards genuinely odd one-page projects rather than spam.

Why it is worth your time

Because the pool is curated instead of scraped, the third or fourth click usually lands somewhere you would never have found deliberately.

Common questions

Is The Useless Web free?

Yes. The Useless Web is free and does not ask you to register or hand over an email address before you can use it.

How long does The Useless Web take?

Good within five seconds of loading. We file it under "Instant" — one button, one random pointless website, forever.

Does The Useless Web work on a phone?

Yes. The Useless Web works on a phone as well as it does on a laptop.

What kind of site is The Useless Web?

We list it under Beautifully Useless — no purpose whatsoever, and that is the point. Because the pool is curated instead of scraped, the third or fourth click usually lands somewhere you would never have found deliberately.
