What is lorem ipsum?
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin used as placeholder text since the 1500s. It comes from Cicero’s De finibus bonorum et malorum (45 BC). Designers use it because it looks like real text but doesn’t distract readers with meaning, so people focus on the layout.
Tips for using placeholder text
- Replace lorem ipsum with real content before launch. Search engines treat it as low-quality text.
- Use realistic lengths: a headline of 6–10 words, paragraphs of 3–5 sentences.
- For character-limited fields, check your text with the word counter.
Frequently asked questions
What does lorem ipsum mean?
It’s a corrupted version of “dolorem ipsum” (“pain itself”) from a text by Cicero. As placeholder text it has no meaning.
Is lorem ipsum copyright-free?
Yes. The source text is over 2,000 years old and in the public domain.
Can I leave lorem ipsum on my live site?
You shouldn’t. It looks unfinished to visitors and gives search engines nothing useful.
