📝 Why Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry standard placeholder text since the 1500s. It has a natural distribution of letters and word lengths that closely resembles real text, making it better for layout testing than repeated "test text" or random characters. The text is based on a section of Cicero's "De Finibus" (45 BC).
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Shipping with placeholder text — always search for "Lorem ipsum" before deploying to production
- Using for content length estimation — Lorem Ipsum words average 5-6 characters. Your actual content language may differ significantly.
- Using in user testing — real users get confused by Latin text. Use realistic content for usability testing.
