Description
The navigation breadcrumbs or list of links do not clearly show which page the user is currently on. Users may struggle to understand where they are within the site's structure, especially those using screen readers or other assistive technologies, if the current page is not clearly indicated.
How to fix
Use aria-current='page' on the breadcrumb or navigation link that represents the current page to clearly indicate the user's location.
