Widgets: Breadcrumbs

Widget Categories: Basic

The Breadcrumbs widget can be added to a site so the site visitor can easily understand their location in a page's hierarchy and explore the site effectively, and as a result improve the site's SEO. The Breadcrumbs widget displays the site hierarchy on a trail based on the page the user is currently on.

Breadcrumbs should not be used on sites with flat hierarchies (only 1 or 2 levels deep). In this case, the navigation bar can clearly indicate what section a page lives within.

For information on adding widgets, see Add Widgets.
