Breadcrumb navigation displays a clickable path that shows where a visitor is within a website’s structure. It improves usability by helping users backtrack easily and reduces friction on large sites.

For example, a product page might display “Home > Electronics > Laptops > Gaming Laptops,” giving context and shortcuts for navigation. Search engines also value breadcrumbs, as they clarify site structure.
