Deep page without a breadcrumb

Pages two folders deep or more that carry structured data but no BreadcrumbList. A breadcrumb shows search results the path instead of the bare address, and tells assistants how the site is organised.

NoticeSTRUCT-007 · Structured data · checked on every page

Where it usually comes from

Themes that show a breadcrumb on the page without marking it up, or structured data added for products only.

How to fix it

  • Add BreadcrumbList JSON-LD to the template, built from the same path the visible breadcrumb shows.
  • Validate one page of each template with the Rich Results Test.

How to check it yourself

Run the page through Google's Rich Results Test and look for a Breadcrumb item.

What it looks like in a report

Notice The page sits 3 levels deep and has structured data, but no BreadcrumbList to say where it belongs. · /shop/boots/black-leather

The theme prints a visible breadcrumb but not its markup; one template change adds it to every product. (An example shop; the numbers are illustrative.)

How the audit counts it

STRUCT-007 is a notice in the structured data category, and weighs lightly in that category’s score. When it appears on many pages built from the same template, the report shows it once, with the number of pages it covers — because one change in the template fixes all of them.

If the finding is deliberate on your site, it can be accepted as intentional in the report. It then leaves the list and the score, and comes back on its own if what it shows changes.

Find it on your site

A Trakis audit runs this check and the other 65 on your site, and tells you on how many pages each one sits. Or go back to all the rules.
