Location

Information about the user's current location within a set of pages is available — typically a breadcrumb trail, a current-page highlight in the nav, or a "you are here" indicator.

What it requires

WCAG 2.0 SC 2.4.8 (AAA) requires that the user can determine where they are within the site's information architecture. The standard fixes: a visible breadcrumb (Home → Collection → Product), a current-page-highlighted nav item with `aria-current="page"`, or a label in the page heading.

Storefronts with shallow IA (home + collection + product) often satisfy this with the page title alone. Deeper sites need explicit breadcrumbs.

Common Shopify failure

Collection-of-collections drilldown three levels deep with no breadcrumb. Blog post with no link back to category or blog index.

How to fix it

Add a `<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">` with `<ol>` of links + `aria-current="page"` on the current page. AccessComply's breadcrumb agent inserts this when missing.
