It would be great if you need to link to an uploaded Webflow resource (ie. a PDF or other) and have it on your own domain and not have the file name be prepended so "pitchscript.pdf" does not change to "872384029387403298wajlhewuhf_pitchscript.pdf". Especially since people want to host with Webflow fully & not have to put it on an external server.
This is a crucial element to serving images, css, and js with caching and web friendly images. Not sure why it is not included with webflow custom domain plans.

We use PDFs for a lot of our information here and in these cases, the resources in question are PDF documents that have been uploaded to the Resources. Ideally, the slug link would stay the same even if we swap out the PDF that the link directs to. Right now, we have to manually change any button linked to a PDF with the "hard" location of that PDF. It would be much easier to simply edit the resource and change the PDF attached there while leaving all the other fields the same.

This is essential and holding me back from launching a project on Webflow

So basic. PLEASE add this.

This is a terrible implementation of a simple feature, randomly changing file names from what is uploaded is nonsense. You need a logical name which does not have to be unique and what it names the file on download and a storage name that can have a GUID. This feature is useless as it stands.

Webflow is an amazing product people. Please upvote if you really think this is a crucial feature!

Has this not been resolved after 5 years because tech debt in WebFlow is so bad they can't fix this without massive code rework?
Webflow hasn't responded at all and this suggestion is in the Top 4 pages of the Wishlist. You can see in other comments this has affected their livelihood and they don't even make a comment. This just makes no sense.
There are comments that images on a different cdn doesn't affect SEO, however for PDFs it does.

I strongly upvote this as well. In addition to the other reasons stated (SEO), this also has benefit of those of us using Cloudflare proxying, to benefit from all of its benefits.
Because webflow assets are served out of the assets-global.website-files.com domain, this isn't owned by us so can't be proxied by cloudflare.
I've found other ideas and requests for this going back over 5 years. I don't foresee any hope in this getting fixed... but maybe?

Agree with what everyone has been saying. This is so unbelievably critical for SEO ranking, branding, and reputation.
Our clients have thousands of published papers and web resources that need to be branded properly. We do not want to have to host our resources on another site... but it may come to that.

Here's a workaround for y'all
1- Upload the document to your asset manager
2- Copy the link of the asset from the asset manager
3- Go to your project settings -> hosting -> scroll down to Redirects
4- Create a new redirect from whatever string you want (make sure there isn't an existing page with the same string) to the link of the asset you copied from asset manager
5- Publish
et Voila, now you have your custom link with your domain name that goes straight to your asset.

Can someone from Webflow weigh in on this? This feature is very much needed.

With this wishlist, do you get to see where it's at in a queue? If it was looked at? Put on a backlog somewhere?

I also just got a very bad email from my client saying that this is not acceptable. I really need this feature (And it sounds like others need it too)!!!

Just got chewed out by our SEO team for not telling them about this asset linking. Feels bad man...
