Where should breadcrumbs be placed?
Because Breadcrumbs work as a secondary navigation aid, it should be placed above the content. The Nielsen Norman group conducted user tests and found that users expect breadcrumbs at the top of the page. A good placement for breadcrumbs is below the main navigation bar and above the page title.
Should breadcrumbs show the current page?
Breadcrumbs should display the current location in the site's hierarchical structure, not the session history.
Where do you put breadcrumbs in UX?
Place breadcrumbs directly above or next to the page title. For mobile, a single breadcrumb (pointing back one level) should be used at a minimum. Use arrows — not slashes or vertical lines — to imply movement between pages or point back home. Show the current page, but don't link to it.
Should breadcrumbs be clickable?
They help site visitors understand and navigate your website's hierarchy. A location-based breadcrumb trail should begin with a link to the website's home page and end with the current page. The last item in the breadcrumb trail should not be a clickable or tappable link.
