What is lorem ipsum?
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin placeholder text that printers and typesetters have used for centuries. It is derived from De finibus bonorum et malorum, a philosophical work by Cicero written in 45 BC, with words cut and altered so the text reads as Latin-like but meaningless. Because its letter frequency and word lengths look roughly like real text, it lets you judge a layout's typography, spacing and rhythm without readers getting distracted by the words.
When to use placeholder text, and when not to
- Good for: early wireframes, testing typography and line length, checking how components cope with long or short text, and template development.
- Use real content when you can: headlines, buttons and navigation labels should be written for real early on, because their length changes the design.
- Never ship it: search engines and visitors treat pages full of lorem ipsum as unfinished, low-quality content. Search your site for “lorem” before going live.
Designer tips
- A comfortable reading line is about 50–75 characters; use a few paragraphs here to test your column width.
- Test both a one-word title and a very long one to see how your layout wraps.
- For non-English sites, test with sample text in the target language too. Scripts like Devanagari need different line heights.
