A few days ago, I uploaded a new part of my site that I believed could run fine on WorldWideWeb (the first web browser; from 1990), however, as Bytemoth of cd5k.net correctly points out "If [the website is] hosted on Neocities you can't access it with a browser older than 2008 because of the HTTPS encryption", so this means as Neocities uses HTTPS, I can't *really* call the website WWW-compatible, now can I?

So, rather than scrapping this weird/terrible project, I decided to instead register an account on InfinityFree (thank you to Randy of tehleroy.cf for the recommendation), as the host doesn't give you HTTPS access from the start "unless you find yourself a certificate on Cloudflare" (to quote Randy).

SO! This is a long-winded way of saying that I now have a new domain that (should) run 100% fine in *any* web browser, here is the URL http://owlman.rf.gd

I would also like to add that this is *only* a side-project of mine, and in now way is this meant to replace my subdomain on Neocities, however, I would like to put a few more things on my new site, such as a guide to HTML1 (I promise it will be a lot less ego-driven than the shit-show that is Tesserae) and how to set up a site that *should* run in WorldWideWeb.

When I tried to open the site with WorldWideWeb it dumped a 500.

Were you opening it with the worldwideweb.cern.ch emulator? Because if you were, then I think it's just because of the CERN servers. If you try and run it on the real deal, then it *should* work (I really hope)
