Comment:

 From a English linguistic perspective, “homepage” is a single compound
 word now as the stress has moved from the second word to the first. We say
 “homepage” with stress like we pronounce “''black''board” (surface for
 writing with chalk, stress on first syllable) not like “black ''board''”
 (some board that is painted black). In English, a homepage is now a
 “thing”. Now whether or not the compound noun is spelled with a space in
 the middle is the only matter for debate, as English is inconsistent (like
 “White House” vs “a white house”). From search results, clearly it seems
 “homepage” is winning the spelling war over “home page” by wide margins.

 (Another related example: “webmaster” is a thing now, we don't talk about
 someone being a “web ''master''”, unless we want to describe someone being
 super good at web stuff or maybe being an overlord of the entire
 internet.)
