A couple of weeks ago, I spent the weekend creating another CFP submission helper in the form of a Firefox extension. It was not a walk in the park. To help others who may be interested in doing the same (and my future self), here's my journey.
I've written multiple posts about my conference submission workflow. To sum up:
UIViewController from UnityI won’t waste your time on a long introduction about the technologies that I will describe here. You most likely already work as an iOS Engineer or Game Developer, which means you probably have some questions regarding the topic of this article. So, let’s get started.

Breadcrumbs are now baked into SmartCrawl, along with another hotly requested feature… setting primary categories for posts and products!
SmartCrawl 3.5 gives you the ability to improve your WordPress site navigation for users and search engines with two new powerful features: breadcrumbs, and the ability to specify primary categories when assigning multiple categories to your posts or product pages.
In this article, we explain the benefits of using SmartCrawl’s latest new features and how to get the most out of them. We’ll cover:
Let’s get cooking…
In the classic fairytale, siblings Hansel and Gretel left a trail of breadcrumbs when they went deep into the forest so they would not get lost and have a path to navigate on their return.
Aptly named, breadcrumbs are an essential navigation aid that can help visitors and search engines better understand your website’s structure.
According to research, 38% of first-time website visitors look at navigational links on a page. So, the easier you make it for users to navigate your site, the better their experience. Especially if your website has a hierarchical structure with lots of nested pages.
And it goes without saying that improving your site’s navigation is also good for SEO, as it helps search engine bots crawl your pages and index your content more efficiently.
Here are some other reasons why you should use breadcrumbs on your WordPress site:
Breadcrumbs are a type of secondary navigation scheme that show users the path they have taken to reach a particular page on a website.
They don’t replace your site navigation menu, they support and complement it. So, a good place to put them is at the top of a page, just below your site’s primary navigation menu or the main header section.
However, you can also use them at the bottom of your page or even on your sidebar.
As you will see later in this post, you can pretty much add a breadcrumb anywhere on your site using a shortcode.
The best way to find what works best for your site is to test different locations and use tools like heatmaps or analytics to measure your results.
What happens if you assign multiple categories to a post? How do breadcrumbs choose which path to display?
The answer is… breadcrumbs will choose whichever category you have specified as the primary category for the post.
Primary categories are the main classification of your business, product, or service and can help search engines understand the primary focus of your website, so the ability to select primary categories in SEO is important.
If you assign a primary category to your posts, breadcrumbs don’t have to guess. It’s as simple as that!
SmartCrawl not only makes it easy to add breadcrumb navigation to your website and assign primary categories to your posts and product pages, but it automatically adds structured data to your breadcrumbs. This helps search engines to understand and categorize your content and present it correctly to users.
Plus, SmartCrawl gives you complete control over how your breadcrumbs appear, making it easy to provide visitors with the information they need to navigate your site.
To activate SmartCrawl’s breadcrumb feature, go to SmartCrawl > Advanced Tools > Breadcrumb and click on activate.
Activating the feature gives you access to a range of settings and options for configuring your breadcrumbs.
Let’s go briefly over SmartCrawl’s breadcrumb settings:
Let’s look at a few ways to customize breadcrumbs by tweaking SmartCrawl’s settings.
The Breadcrumb Separator section lets you specify a separator symbol from a list of presets, but you can also add your own by entering HTML characters.
So, for this example, let’s add an emoji into the custom separator field…
Here’s the result…
You can also add a prefix to your breadcrumbs in the Configurations section…
And here’s the result…
Let’s do one more tweak and hide the post title from our breadcrumb trails…
And here’s our customized breadcrumb sans title…
SmartCrawl gives you additional options to customize breadcrumb label formats across your site.
Customize breadcrumb label formats with a wide range of options.
This allows you to add additional information to your breadcrumbs such as post authors, dates and time, your site title, etc.
Breadcrumbs improve your website’s SEO and search engine visibility, provide visitors with an easy way to navigate your site, reduce bounce rates, and increase click-through rates.
Smartcrawl’s breadcrumb feature is customizable, flexible, user-friendly, SEO-friendly, and compatible with all WordPress themes and plugins.
Additionally, SmartCrawl automatically ads breadcrumb schema markup and the ability to specify a primary category for posts and product pages with multiple categories assigned.
SmartCrawl is the free SEO plugin that lets you have your cake and eat it too… right down to the tastiest breadcrumbs!
