A Breadcrumb (or breadcrumb trail) is a navigation aid that shows users their location in a website or app’s hierarchy. It typically appears as a horizontal list of pages or sections, usually near the top of a page, separated by a symbol (like Home > Section > Subsection). Each part of the breadcrumb (except the last one, which is the current page) is a link the user can click to jump to a higher-level page. Breadcrumbs help users understand the structure of the site and easily backtrack to broader categories. For example, on an e-commerce site, if a user is viewing a specific product, a breadcrumb might display “Home > Electronics > Mobile Phones > Smartphone Model X.” This not only confirms to the user that they are browsing Mobile Phones, but also allows them to click “Electronics” or “Mobile Phones” to explore those pages. Breadcrumbs improve navigation and reduce the steps needed to move around, contributing to a better user experience by preventing users from feeling “lost” deep in a site.
