Before building our Lorem Ipsum generator, we looked at how the most popular one (lipsum.com) actually gets used — not through reviews, but through what a competing tool's own creator wrote about building an alternative.
lorem ipsum generator with word count — but how many clicks does it take?
In a build log for a competing generator, the author measured the default lipsum.com flow directly: "a request using Lipsum.com would require a minimum of 4-5 user actions which alternate between use of the keyboard and mouse." Every time you change the amount or type, you resubmit a form and wait for a new page. Ours regenerates the instant you change any option — no submit button, no reload.
How many words is a Lorem Ipsum paragraph, exactly?
The honest answer is "however many the tool decides," which is the problem — most generators offer a few preset amounts (short/medium/long) rather than an exact number. The same build log calls this out directly: pre-defined quantity options were imprecise, forcing manual keyboard entry anyway. Our count field takes any number from 1 to 50, whichever unit you're generating.
HTML Lorem Ipsum, without hand-wrapping each paragraph
Toggle HTML output and every paragraph comes back wrapped in a <p> tag, ready to paste into markup — the same capability most generators offer, just without an extra step to turn it on and copy it separately.
A link that actually reproduces the same placeholder text
None of the alternatives we found let you send someone a link and have them see the identical Lorem Ipsum you're looking at — every reload is a new random draw. Ours encodes the settings and the random seed in the URL, so the share link (or the back button) reproduces the exact same text, word for word.
