By default WWWOFFLE will try not to keep fetching the same thing
repeatedly.  There are options that you can use to make it more, or
less, likely to refetch the same thing.

What makes you think that it is being refetched each day?

Are you selecting Google from a browser bookmark?  This has the habit
(in some browsers at least) of forcing the reload of the page.  This
might also force the reload of the images.

There is nothing in this reply from the server that indicates that it
would be re-fetched each time.  A more detailed examination of the log
file will explain why it is being refetched.
