Breadcrumb

A secondary navigation scheme to identify visitors' location

Breadcrumb is a type of secondary navigation scheme that reveals the customers’ location on the website.

Breadcrumbs can improve how a user and Google navigate a website, especially if your website has many products or pages.

Furthermore, breadcrumbs have been proven to decrease bounce rates, keeping users on a website longer.

Lastly, the best benefit of breadcrumbs is SEO-boosting. Google bots use breadcrumbs to categorize and contextualize content in search results more efficiently.
