| Breadcrumbs have 2 primary functions for websites: optimal user experience and SEO value. The user experience is to provide context to page location and its relation to other site content. SEO value is to provide context to the search engine crawlers that are tasked with organising site content for organic search results. | |
| These must be configured at template level, not manually added to each page. | Do not add these when creating page layouts and content. |
