been seeing way too much junk in the breadcrumb trail lately. some devs are just dumping every single category level into the markup even when it makes no sense for the user. im thinking of trying something different this week and stripping out the non-essential parent nodes from the json-ld entirely. if its not part of the actual click path on the page
it doesnt belong in the code we should probably just drop it. let's see if cleaning up the hierarchy actually helps with the rich snippet appearance.
"@type": "ListItem","position": 1,"name": "Products"
mostly just trying to reduce the bloat in the crawler's render budget. might be a stretch but worth a shot on one of my smaller sites.
