Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are used to show the path to the current page.

Overview

Breadcrumbs are an essential navigation aid that provides users with a clear hierarchical path to their current location within a website or application. They serve multiple purposes:

  • Orientation: Breadcrumbs help users understand where they are in the site's structure.
  • Navigation: They allow users to easily navigate back to higher-level pages.
  • Context: Breadcrumbs provide context for the current page in relation to the overall site architecture.
  • Improved User Experience: They reduce the number of actions a user needs to take if they wish to return to a higher-level page.

When implementing breadcrumbs, it's important to ensure they are clear, concise, and accurately reflect the site's structure. They should be placed consistently across pages, typically near the top of the content area, and use appropriate separators between levels.
