Breadcrumb Navigation (Breadcrumb Trail)

People can easily browse back to certain pages or categories, and it gives more context in terms of information, as the location of the visitor in the site's hierarchy is visible. 
There are multiple types of breadcrumbs:

• Breadcrumbs that provide the exact location on the site, the hierarchical structure, and a trail for the user to follow back to the starting or entry point: Home page > Blog > Blog post or Homepage > Books > Literature & Fiction > Classics
• Breadcrumbs based on viewing history: Homepage > Viewed Page 1 > Viewed Page 2 > Viewed Page 3 > Viewed page 1 > Homepage. For instance, in this scenario, a website visitor visits 6 pages: Home page > Pricing > About Us > Home page > Reviews > Home page 

You can use breadcrumb navigation for the following types of websites:

• Large websites with hierarchically arranged pages (such as public service websites)
• E-commerce websites, to easily locate products based on categories
• Educational websites or sites that require a lot of procedures and published documentation (such as universities)
