When should you not use bread crumbs?
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.
Are breadcrumbs still relevant 2022?
There's no reason not to use them, and Breadcrumbs never cause problems in user testing. Breadcrumbs are only 30% of users' attention. This is a good sign. Breadcrumbs take up very little space, so don't let that stop you from using them.
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.
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.
