Morphology
The meaning 'main or introductory page of a website' is directly derivable from combining 'home' (the starting or main place) with 'page' (a page); it denotes the site's starting/main page. This is a straightforward compositional compound and parallels common patterns in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will likely understand it.
Etymology
The term home page comes from the idea of a house and the first page of a book: home is the place where you start and page is the first page you open. So, home page means the 'main page' you see first when you open a website or your browser.
