Implement accessible breadcrumb navigation

Proper breadcrumb markup helps screen reader users understand site hierarchy and their current location, while also improving SEO through structured data.

Quick Reference

  • Use nav element with aria-label='Breadcrumb'
  • Use ordered list (ol) for semantic structure
  • Mark current page with aria-current='page'
  • Keep any structured data aligned with the visible breadcrumb trail

Check

Verify breadcrumbs use nav element with aria-label, ordered list markup, and aria-current for the current page.

Fix

Implement breadcrumbs using semantic nav, ol/li structure, and proper ARIA attributes including aria-current='page'.

Explain

Explain how properly marked up breadcrumbs improve navigation, SEO, and screen reader accessibility.
