Frequently Asked Questions
What is lorem ipsum?
Placeholder text based on a passage from Cicero, written in 45 BC, with words changed and removed so it reads as nonsense. Designers use it so people judge a layout without being distracted by its words.
Should I use placeholder text in a finished site?
No. Replace it before publishing, since search engines see lorem ipsum as low quality content and visitors find it confusing.
Why use lorem ipsum instead of real text?
It has a natural mix of word lengths, so it fills space the way real text does, and nobody stops to read it.
