DrillNav — Smart Contextual Navigation for Deeply Nested Sites

Drill-down navigation that adapts to the current page — built for WordPress sites with deep, nested page structures. No configuration required.

Coming soon

Stop showing the whole tree at once

The default WordPress menu shows every page, all the time — unmanageable once a site has hundreds of nested pages. DrillNav shows only what's relevant to where the visitor is right now.

Ancestor path

Breadcrumb-style navigation back up the tree.

Current level

Siblings of the active page, nothing else.

Drill-down

Click to open sub-pages, lazy-loaded via the REST API.

The free version is a fully capable navigation plugin. Pro adds power features for large, complex, or WooCommerce-driven sites.
