Morphology
The verb 'bookmark' (to mark and save a webpage or document) combined with the object 'the page' yields the sense of saving that page for later directly; a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can readily infer this meaning. The phrase is a straightforward verb + object composition common in web contexts and cross-linguistically transparent, so prior exposure is not necessary for comprehension.
Etymology
The phrase bookmark the page comes from a simple idea: a paper bookmark marks a book page so you can find your place again. That's why on the internet it means 'to save the address of a webpage' so you can return to it later.
