Here is what I learned from Google’s Web Crawling algorithm over the years,
For the last three to two years, I have used ‘Design Portfolio | Mandar Apte’ as my title tag for my personal design portfolio website’s homepage, i.e. ‘Page Name | Website Name’. This is nothing more than to explain to people that they can get a complete insight into the website by just looking at the title on Google’s search result page.

But the result was something like this: ‘Mandar Apte: Design Portfolio’ instead of my curated title ‘Design Portfolio | Mandar Apte’. It seems Google altered my website homepage’s title tag on their search results. I was amassed, wondering why this should happen, and then I contacted Google support for the same.
