Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs provide a navigation trail for users on a website. If they’re in a particular sub-section of the website, breadcrumbs allow them to see how they got there and what previous, high-level topic pages they could view as well that link to their current page.
Having a clear breadcrumb structure for a website is important, since it relates to user experience and avoids confusing visitors to your site.
