Breadcrumbs or breadcrumb trails is a navigation technique used in user interfaces. Its purpose is to give users a way to keep track of their location within programs or documents. Breadcrumbs typically appear horizontally across the top of a webpage, usually below any title bars or headers in the top left-hand-side of the webpage. They provide links back to each previous page that the user navigated through in order to get to the current page. Breadcrumbs provide a trail for the user to follow back to the starting/entry point of a website. They may look something like this:
Home page >Website Design Terminology - B > Breadcrumb

There are three types of web breadcrumbs:
-Path
Path breadcrumbs are dynamic and show the path that the user has taken to arrive at a page.
-Location
Location breadcrumbs are static and show where the page is located in the website hierarchy.
-Attribute
Attribute breadcrumbs give information that categorizes the current page
