Breadcrumbs Widget

  • Updated

The Breadcrumbs widget can be added to a site so the site visitor can easily understand their location and explore the site effectively, and as a result improve the site's SEO. The Breadcrumbs widget displays the site hierarchy on a trail based on the user's current location. Breadcrumbs should not be used on sites with flat hierarchies (only 1 or 2 levels deep). In this case, the navigation bar can clearly indicates what section a page lives within.

Note

The Breadcrumbs widget cannot be used in fixed headers. For other header types, the header must be converted to a row before you can add the Breadcrumbs widget. To learn more about the header types, see Headers.

Breadcrumbs displays the names of the following:

  • Pages and sub-pages
  • Folders
  • Dynamic pages
  • Store pages (for native store)
