Site URL being displayed before TITLE on SERP

Apologies if the question is a repeated one but I couldn't find a solution for this.

I have following HTML code on the home page of my website.

<head>
<title>Sample title for illustrative purpose | example.com</title>
<meta name = "description" content = "Here is an example of what a snippet looks like in Google's SERPs. The content that appears here is usually taken from the Meta Description tag if relevant.">
<meta name = "keywords" content = "keyword1, keyword2">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<a href="https://www.example.com" class="navbar-brand">Home Page Link</a>
</header>
<h1>Sample Heading</h1>

SERP shows following result: enter image description here

Question: Why is example.com (the circled one in attached pic) is taken into account on SERP when it's not there in the title?
