Definition

“Web navigation refers to the process of navigating a network of web resources, and the user interface that is used to do so. A central theme in web design is the development of a web navigation interface that maximizes usability.”
Navigation is the essence of the web experience. Menus and in-page links are the means of navigation to go to a new page and to move to another position on the current page.
