I agreed with the response, yes Users can trace their location on a website and how far they are from the homepage using breadcrumbs, which are links on a website.

When it comes to ranking at the top on SERPs the content plays a crucial role. It is assumed that the more the content length rapidly it will rank, however, this is not true. Your content should focus on quality rather than quantity to be useful for its users or readers.
Google also has suggested many times that the word count does not decide whether the content is of low quality or it will rank.
Some pages have a lot of words but they provide nothing useful, on the other hand, some articles say few words but provide relevant content for the searched query.
So, it can be said that word count is not a Google ranking factor. While writing any content or article for any website
remember to focus on the quality and relevancy of the content.

Kindly tell me the importance of breadcrumbs in SEO and if possible give some references for details.

Please explain bounce rate, does it affect your website's traffic & SEO? If yes how to improve it?
