What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin used as dummy text since the 1500s. It comes from “De finibus bonorum et malorum”, a philosophy text written by Cicero in 45 BC. Because the words look like real text but cannot be read, they let people judge a layout, font and spacing without being distracted by the content.
When to use placeholder text
- Website and app mockups before the real copy is ready.
- Testing how a layout handles long and short paragraphs.
- Templates, themes and print layouts.
- Filling databases with sample content for development.
Replace placeholder text before launch: search engines treat Lorem Ipsum as low-quality content, and real text often needs a different amount of space than you expected.
