This is one of things that just happens and it's hard to pin down why. Sure, the wifi connection itself could be doing it but I've seen it here and there even though the page has completely loaded and there shouldn't even be any activity.
The thing for me is that it doesn't affect the browsing experience or slow me down so for the rare occasions it happens I just chalk it up to "oh well".
Don't fret it unless you really start having problems because of it.
