But the idea is that the website can't tell that, because websites would use a different cache store than the new tab page.
Even if facebook's icon is saved in the new tab page's cache, when a website wants to load that icon it will only try to find it in the normal cache. If it's not there or it is expired, it is requested again, passed to the normal cache store, and the normal cache store can also give that to the cache store if the new tab page.
