Breadcrumb schema generator

How to use it

1. Enter the site address, for example https://example.com.
2. Write the trail, one page per line: the name as shown on the page, a | (or a tab) and the address.
3. Leave the address off the last line if it is the current page.
4. Copy the script and paste it into the page.

How it works

Each line becomes a ListItem with position counted from 1, name and item (the URL). A path starting with / is added to the site address without a doubled slash; full http:// or https:// addresses are used as typed. The list is wrapped in a BreadcrumbList with "@context": "https://schema.org" and put into a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag. The < character is written as <, so a name cannot close the script tag.

Example

With the site address https://example.com and the lines

Home | /
Books | /books/
Science fiction | /books/sci-fi/
The Left Hand of Darkness

the result has 4 items. The first is {"@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://example.com/"}, the third points to https://example.com/books/sci-fi/, and the fourth has only a position and a name.

Tips

• Use the same names as the visible breadcrumbs, not page titles with the site name.
• Use the canonical URLs of the pages, with the same protocol and trailing slash as your links.
• One trail per page path is enough; the list does not need to include every parent category.
