    How to remove that site name. It eats up some words from title.
    I am using wordpress with Yoast SEO.

    You will need to edit your Page Titles. I would recommend installing Yoast's SEO plugin. Then you can set the default page titles, as well as titles and meta tags for each page and post.

    You need to edit your page title. You can do it in WP dashboard.

    Where do you want the site title name to be? In case you want it to be at the end, then add

    %%title%% - Blog Name or whatever you want here

    at the Yoast SEO title settings for posts

    And if you do not need the blog title at all in individual posts, then just make it

    %%title%%

    in the same place.

    If you know how to get to the page's code you will see something like:

    <title>BitingSoftFather - Fusion of 13+ utility tools into one bla bla bla (what ever the rest of the title is)</title>

    (this will be near the top of the page. (ctrl+f) will help)

    What ever is between the <title> and </title> tags is what will show up on the google search results line.

    Also if you dont want to wait for google to update to see if you did it right, you can always look at the very top of your web browser while on the page.

    Good Luck.
