Bing tests bold breadcrumb text in search result URLs
Bing is testing bold formatting for the breadcrumb portion of URLs in search results, while keeping the domain name in regular text.
Bing is testing bold text in URLs shown in its search results. The entire URL isn’t bold. The domain name appears in regular weight, while the breadcrumb or category portion of the URL is shown in bold. I spotted this yesterday, and it was new to me.
Here is a screenshot of this.
A change like this can catch a user’s attention, but it’s not clear how it would help the website itself. Bing has tested many SERP changes recently, so this may be one more part of that series.
Moving a site to a headless CMS changes how pages get rendered, how metadata reaches the page and where redirects, sitemaps and robots rules live. These are the SEO problems that come up most and how to fix each one before launch.
Bing appears to be testing clickable blue hyperlinks within organic search descriptions, potentially giving websites another way to drive traffic to category pages.
