For starters, most people on the internet were science/tech minded, since it was rather niche. Webrings were a big thing, as a way to attempt to try to share traffic between similar sites. As for the websites themselves, it was pure HTML. It generally wasn't pretty, but loaded as fast as it does now due to the lack of JS and CSS imports, ads, analytics, etc. One of my favorite sites to browse to this day is reminiscent of how most pages of that time looked - http://www.thekeyboard.org.uk http://www.thekeyboard.org.uk.
