What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text derived from "De finibus bonorum et malorum" (On the ends of good and evil), a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero. The standard Lorem Ipsum passage has been used since the 1500s when an unknown printer scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting.

Why Use Placeholder Text?

Designers and developers use Lorem Ipsum because:

Readers won't be distracted by readable content, keeping focus on design
Lorem Ipsum mimics real text letter frequency for natural distribution
It's a widely recognized standard that needs no explanation
Easy to generate any amount needed for different layouts

When Not to Use Lorem Ipsum

Content-first design where real content should drive the layout
User testing where participants may find placeholder text confusing
Accessibility reviews that need real content to test readability
Final presentations where you should always use actual content
