Although their breadcrumbs were eaten by a bird and they were nearly eaten by an old witch, Hansel and Gretel’s seemingly clever idea survives today. No, we don’t use breadcrumbs to find our way home (we have cellphones for that), but we do use them to find our way back to the home-pages of websites. Digital breadcrumbs are a handy way to keep track of your location online. If you’ve never heard of breadcrumb navigation, don’t worry; it’s very easy to understand and use. But despite its simple size and function, breadcrumb navigation can greatly enhance your users’ online experience and optimize your website for search engines.
