Beware, sometimes the browser will make you think it fetched the page, but it's cached..
Don't panic, there is perdu.org (no cache directives)
Just to let you know, https://perdu.com/ actually loads for me (note the scheme is https).
I have HTTPS Everywhere (Extension from EFF) configured to try to automatically upgrade to HTTPS. Works for a lot of websites that have TLS without defaulting to it.
NeverSSL actually does not have anything on port 443, so will work even if browsers start trying to upgrade people to HTTPS.
I used to use http://purple.com, which for many years was just a blank website with a purple background. Then a few years ago the domain was sold to a mattress company :(
I have a similarly funny one I like to use for this purpose: http://zombo.com/

Looks like pi-hole is blocking it, any idea why? or did it get hackernews'd?
I am confused but glad I enabled Flash for that.
Simple, probably a 386 computer plugged in somewhere. Never changed.
It is just a joke, the domain means "lost" in French and says "Lost on the internet? Don't panic! We are here to help you: * <- you are here"
Hasn't changed in 20 years, has no javascript, no tracker. Exist since before websites had ads everywhere, and know it would be laughable to put ads on it.
