When should you not use breadcrumbs?
Breadcrumbs aren't necessary (or useful) for sites with flat hierarchies that are only 1 or 2 levels deep, or sites that are linear in structure.
Should I have breadcrumbs on my website?
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.
Are breadcrumbs still relevant?
Because There Is No Good Reason To Not Use Them
The reasons are simple. Breadcrumbs never cause problem in user testing. Users pay attention to breadcrumbs only 30% of the time; when they do, it helps and even when they don't, it doesn't cause any harm.
Do apps use breadcrumbs?
Most apps use breadcrumbs as a secondary navigation scheme.
