Permalinks in SERP

I`ve just noticed that categories of my website are shown in Google SERPs instead of permalinks.

Example: Instead of my-very-cool-website.com/permalink-of-my-post Google shows only my-very-cool-website.com > category

Did I missed something? Is this "new normal" look of snippets or I should fix something?

Btw it`s a WP website with a few plugins.

Neeraj Pandey: If I could understand you are saying that google is not showing ur URL but it is showing ur category ... This is breadcrumb u HV not shown ur website URL so I can't go in depth but it is breadcrumb of ur page.... +Nebojsa Djukic
Nebojsa Djukic: Yes +Neeraj Pandey ;it looks like that. Not sure if that should be like that and how such things affect performance of a website in search engines. Could that be something about SEO Yoast plugin, a theme, sitemaps...?
Tony “Tiggerito” McCreath: Yoasts plugin has a breadcrumb section. Google is also good at working them out on their own.

It's probably a good sign as it means Google knows the architecture of your site.

In the past they were links which was nice.
