Breadcrumbs.

When it comes to websites with a lot of pages, breadcrumb navigation stands as a powerful tool to improve user experience.

So if you’re wondering “Should I even use breadcrumbs on my website?”, this is for you! The use of breadcrumbs on websites helps to streamline the process by which visitors navigate their way through various pages. These discreet yet effective navigational aids boost the discoverability of different sections and pages on a website.

 

 

What Are Breadcrumbs On A Website?

When websites have a lot of pages, breadcrumb navigation functions as a supplementary navigation system revealing a user’s virtual whereabouts within a website or web application.

The concept draws inspiration from the tale of Hansel and Gretel, where the protagonists employ breadcrumbs to mark their path home. Similarly, digital breadcrumbs allow users to retrace their steps to their initial landing point.

What exactly is breadcrumb navigation and what is the function of breadcrumbs on a website? Think of them as digital signposts that you’ll typically find on websites rich in content organised in hierarchical tiers. Additionally, web applications featuring multi-step processes utilise breadcrumbs akin to progress bars.

At its core, a breadcrumb trail appears as an array of horizontally arranged text links, each separated by the “greater than” symbol (>), which indicates the hierarchical level relative to its neighbouring links.

 

The Different Types of Breadcrumbs

Location-based Breadcrumbs: These types of breadcrumbs provide users with a visual representation of their position within the website’s hierarchy. They’re typically used in navigation schemes with multiple levels, each text link signifies a level higher than its adjacent counterpart.

Attribute-based Breadcrumbs: These exhibit a page’s specific attributes, and the trail showcases attributes of items showcased on a given page, helping users grasp context.

Path-based Breadcrumbs: Path-based breadcrumbs are dynamic and show a user’s journey leading to a particular page. These breadcrumbs show which pages the user visited prior to arriving at the current page, providing a full overview of the user’s journey.

 

The Benefits of Breadcrumb Navigation

Here are the many advantages of incorporating breadcrumb trails:

User Convenience

A key purpose of breadcrumbs is to offer users an alternative avenue for navigation. Within large, multi-layer websites, these trails serve as a guide to swiftly navigate to higher-level categories.

Efficiency in Navigation

Breadcrumbs help to eliminate excessive clicks or actions to return to higher-level pages. Breadcrumbs help to speed up the process with fewer clicks, unlike traditional methods like the browser’s “Back” button.

Minimalistic Screen Presence

Due to their unobtrusive horizontal layout and understated design, breadcrumb trails don’t take up unnecessary space on your screen, ensuring that they seamlessly merge into the layout, contributing positively to the user experience without overwhelming the content.

Reduced Bounce Rates

Breadcrumb trails help to captivate first-time visitors, enticing them to further explore the website. When a user arrives via a search engine, a breadcrumb trail might prompt them to explore related topics, reducing the website’s bounce rate.

 

Following the breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are an invaluable asset in web navigation, ushering users through the virtual labyrinth with ease. By understanding the many types of breadcrumbs and taking advantage of all their benefits, you can significantly boost the usability of your website, providing a rewarding experience for your visitors.
