The URL or local file that is automatically loaded when a web browser starts is called homepage or startpage.

The startpage, front page or main web page of a website of a group, company, or organization. The homepage offers guidance through a website and usually includes hyperlinks to other web pages of the website.

A personal homepage, usually a page featuring an individual user. If there is more than one page, it becomes a personal website, rather than a personal homepage.

In some countries, such as Germany and Japan, the term 'homepage' commonly refers to a complete website (of a company/organization) rather than to a single web page.
