I am choosing a page title structure for my website and am unsure what to choose in terms of accessibility and SEO. Is there a benefit to putting site title after the page title because of the unique part being earlier? Are there any other benefits one way or another?
Example 1: Page title | Delan Azabani
Example 2: Delan Azabani » Page title
Put the page title in front of site name. Chances are the only time they'll see that page title is when it's linked from a search engine result set. As soon as they find what they're looking for they'll click it. By adding your name you're only postponing (since we read from left to right) them from finding what they want.
And to be honest, they really don't care what your name is -- it's just something they'll skip over. If you ask them 30 seconds later, they probably won't be able to recall your name -- even if you put it at the front of the page title.
