Should breadcrumbs show current page?
Breadcrumbs should display the current location in the site's hierarchical structure, not the session history.
Are breadcrumbs correct and lead to actual page hierarchy?
As breadcrumbs are used to track the user's current position in the website's or application's hierarchy, they should not be present on the homepage or the highest point within the site hierarchy. Finally, provide users with the facility to navigate between the different breadcrumbs with the tab key.
Should I enable breadcrumbs?
Breadcrumbs are an important part of almost every good website. These little navigational aids don't just tell people where they are on your site, but they also help Google work out how your site is structured. That's why it makes a lot of sense to add these helpful little pointers.
What happens when you click on a breadcrumb?
Breadcrumbs typically appear horizontally across the top of a Web page, often below title bars or headers. They provide links back to each previous page the user navigated through to get to the current page or—in hierarchical site structures—the parent pages of the current one.
