Quick question, can I also use this to serve a webpage?

As in take a website I am developing and have my server serve SingleFileZ instead of what I would usually.

Yes you can. See this page for example: https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/ (check the source code of the page if you're curious). It was saved with SingleFileZ and is served via a HTTP server. Note that you don't need any extension to view it in modern browsers.

On paper, you could even store an entire website in a SingleFileZ file. It just need to be implemented...

That would be great! I know of a few scenarios where HTTtrack and SingleFileZ would save a lot of space and effort.
