Breadcrumbs positioning

Ideally, breadcrumbs are placed at the top of the page, below the main navigation bar or header, but above the page content. This positioning makes them easily noticeable without dominating the page layout. They must be consistently placed in the same location on every page to maintain a coherent user experience.

The alignment of breadcrumbs is typically horizontal, following a left-to-right reading direction, which aligns with the natural flow of most languages. This placement also mirrors the website's hierarchical structure, guiding users from left (higher-level pages) to right (current page).
