### Best Practices for Breadcrumbs 

* **Location:** Place the breadcrumb at the very top of the page, usually just below the header. 
* **Mobile Use:** On very small screens, ensure the text doesn't wrap awkwardly. Use the BWD responsive settings to reduce font size or hide the breadcrumb on mobile if the menu is already very clear. 
* **Consistency:** Use the same breadcrumb style across your entire site by adding the widget to your **Header** or **Single Page/Post** template in Elementor Pro Theme Builder.
