What is breadcrumb navigation?

Breadcrumb navigation is a secondary navigation element that visually displays a user’s path within a website – usually in the form of text links separated by “>”. It improves orientation, user-friendliness and usability, especially with complex page structures. At the same time, it supports search engines during crawling and structures content logically. Breadcrumbs are a proven element for clear navigation and an intuitive user experience.
