You could use Bitcoin SV to store the actual file on the blockchain, but SingleFile creates an enormous HTML file. So, you're better off printing the page as a PDF, encode in the blockchain, and only spend 10% of what you would have spent (250kb SingleFile vs 25kb PDF).

I can understand you prefer the PDF format for saving HTML webpages even though the PDF format is not adapted for this use-case. But do all the pages on the Internet saved with SingleFile weight 250KB and all the pages saved in PDF weight 25KB? I did a quick test by saving https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/issues?q=is%3Ai... and the HTML file generated by SingleFile is almost 3 times smaller than the PDF file.

FYI, the SHA256 of the page is stored in Bitcoin, not the full page.
