Breadcrumbs are an extra navigation system that you can add to your WordPress website. They provide your users with another way to browse your site besides the default navigation menu system in WordPress.
You will often find breadcrumbs at the top of a post or page, above the title.
You’ve probably heard the well-known story about two children who didn’t want to get lost in the woods. So they dropped a trail of breadcrumbs as they walked and planned to follow the trail to navigate back out of the woods.
In WordPress, breadcrumbs serve a similar function. They show your users where they are on your website and how they got there.
This can make your WordPress website feel more organized and user-friendly and help your visitors navigate through your site and quickly find what they are looking for.
Breadcrumbs can also encourage users to click on related links and continue browsing your site. This can lead to increased page views and engagement.
