Breadcrumbs are an important navigational element that supports wayfinding \u2014 making users aware of their current location within the hierarchical structure of a website. Breadcrumbs are a list of links representing the current page and its \u201cancestors\u201d (parent page, grandparent page, and so on), typically going all the way back to the site homepage.
