 > I don't have an updated copy of The AP Stylebook on hand. I'm guessing
 it'd push for "home page."  However, the stylebook tends to change with
 usage and never sets anything in stone.

 Nor do I, AP use `home page` in two tweets from 2012 & 2015
 [https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=home%20page%20from%3AAPStylebook&src=typd
 here] (they've never tweeted `homepage`)

 > If I were editing for a tech magazine, I'd allow for "homepage."  For a
 general newspaper, I'd go with "home page."

 From this year https://english.stackexchange.com/a/112057 cites some
 references to other style guides usage

 tl;dr Tech focused companies prefer `homepage` over `home page`

 > FWIW, it wouldn't hurt for core WP to adopt a particular stylebook or
 create its own.  It'd help with these types of discussions.

 This is what https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-
 practices/spelling/ is about, not a style guide in its own right, but the
 best we've got right now ;)
