A breadcrumb trail is a navigation aid used for web interfaces. It allows visitors to keep track of their locations within sections of your site, displaying links above the main content region that lead back to the home page and to the parent pages of the current page.
Example:
A stand-alone page that is not attached to any section navigation or not a subpage of a parent page will only display the breadcrumb, "Home / " followed by the page's title.
Example:
The more embedded within a section navigation a page is, the more breadcrumbs will appear.
