The role of breadcrumbs in your Magento store is not just limited to improve the SEO but also significant for improving UX. \u201cBreadcrumbs\u201d<\/strong> is a very anomalous term for the navigation chain and are usually presented on ecommerce stores for a better UX. Breadcrumbs will improve the UX, SEO optimization, and in turn, better sales in your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main role of breadcrumbs is to allow users to quickly come back to the previous navigated pages. There are many incidents when the users on a particular page checking the content want to reread other content of the website. For this purpose, breadcrumb navigation is the best thing. In today\u2019s blog, we will go through multiple aspects of the breadcrumbs in your Magento store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What Are Magento Breadcrumbs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In easy words, Magento breadcrumbs represent the path to the products in your store. It is a type of navigation tool which allows users to identify the category or subcategory of the product. By knowing these categories or subcategories, the users will know on which page they are currently on. It is not essential to use breadcrumbs in your ecommerce store but we suggest using, as it improves the UX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Types Of Magento Breadcrumbs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The breadcrumbs have been divided into 3 different categories on the basis of features and usage. Let\u2019s know about these categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>1.<\/strong> Hierarchy-Based Breadcrumbs<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will easily find the hierarchy-based breadcrumbs on ecommerce as they are most popular in usage. In these breadcrumbs, the users can know the product they are checking is of which category\/subcategory. Thus, they can directly go to the higher category or subcategory from the product details page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>2.<\/strong> History-Based Breadcrumbs<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the hierarchy-based breadcrumbs, these breadcrumbs work just like the back button of your browser. The customers can go to the previous pages they visited by clicking on the breadcrumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History-based breadcrumbs are highly useful if the users just want to go back and forth on the site after using multiple filters on the category page. This breadcrumb is more focused on the click instead of the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>3.<\/strong> Attribute-Based Breadcrumbs<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the attribute-based breadcrumbs, the users can see the attributes they have selected for a product on the page. These types of breadcrumbs are highly useful in those ecommerce stores which have a huge range of products with many different attributes. When the user will apply certain filters or attributes, they will be displayed on the top of the page. Don\u2019t find these similar to the above-discussed hierarchy-based breadcrumbs because the attribute-based breadcrumbs also show the selected filters while the hierarchy-based breadcrumbs just show the path. Also, the users can remove filters directly from these breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
