What you can do here

How to use the random website generator

Press Generate and you get a random website worth visiting from a hand-picked list of 112: interactive toys, games, free learning sites, genuinely useful tools, music experiments, art collections and good reading. Each result shows the address, category and what the site does; when you draw one site, an Open this website link appears. Choose a category to focus on fun, learning or tools, and set How many for a list to work through when you are bored.

Unlike link roulettes that send you to anything, every site here is safe for work, free to open and has been around for years. External sites can change, so if one has moved, generate again.

Random link generator for tests and mock-ups

Switch Generate to Fake test URLs and links for placeholder addresses that can never point to a real business. Domains use the reserved .example and .test top-level domains or example.com (RFC 2606 and RFC 6761), in five shapes:

brightharbor.example
https://www.lunarforge.test/docs/guide-42
https://example.com/pricing?ref=k3j9x2ab&utm_source=newsletter
<a href="https://example.org/blog/post-17">Clevernest</a>
[Copperpath](https://example.net/help/faq-311)

Use them in documentation, tutorials, email templates, link-checker tests and UI mock-ups without accidentally advertising or hitting a real site.

Frequently asked questions

Are the random websites safe?

Yes. Every site in the list was picked by hand, is safe for work and free to open. Links open in a new tab and nothing is tracked.

How many websites are in the list?

112 websites across seven categories: fun and weird, games and puzzles, learning, useful tools, music, art and design, and reading.

Can I pick a random website from one category?

Yes. Choose a category such as Learn something or Useful tools, or open a link like ?mode=fun or ?mode=learn.

How does the random link generator work?

Choose Fake test URLs and links to build placeholder domains, page URLs, URLs with query strings, HTML anchor tags or Markdown links on reserved domains such as .example and example.com.

Why use .example or .test domains?

They are reserved by internet standards and can never be registered, so placeholder links in docs, tests and mock-ups can never lead to a real, possibly unsafe, website.
