Then I should be on (the) homepage

Asserts that the browser is currently on the homepage of the site under test. The step compares the current URL against the launch URL configured for the test run: it passes when the current URL starts with the launch URL. The words homepage and frontpage are interchangeable, the pronoun can be I, we, or omitted, and the is optional.

Because the check is "current URL starts with the launch URL", it is a lenient homepage assertion: a URL that only adds a query string or fragment to the launch URL still passes. If you need to confirm a precise path instead, use the quoted form I should be on "...".
