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.

It's been 5 years and this haven't been fixed yet?.. omg...
Yep we need this as well!
With https://stacket.app you can have ALL assets on your Custom Domain :)
Has this been fixed?
Dealbeaker issue for us too
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...
For me this will become a dealbreaker. We wish to send potential customers PDF brochures and not being able to host on our own domain looks very unprofessional. Our customers will wonder why we are sending them to a random domain.
We will likely migrate off of webflow for hosting in the near future if this is not resolved.
Critical feature, especially now. Sites waste load time fetching images at a different URL, rather than on our own domain. Not cool.
I was redirected to this feature request having a look at mine. Need the PDF that opens in a new tab to be on the domain name after the "/", e.g. example.com/document.pdf or at least e.g. example.com/<any_folder_if_need_be>/document.pdf. NOT on webflow.com domain and with any added strings of characters.
Critical for us too as we cannot hide gated content from Google crawlers. Please roll this out ASAP. Thank you!
Pain in the ass guys, are you on it?
I can't believe this is still an issue! Will this be rolled out at all?
This is important feature to build into the webflow. My clients need this. Please make it happen!
Love webflow, but we just had a client who is very hot on branding complain about this.
Absolutely critical. There is zero image SEO with Webflow. Hosting images on a subdomain kills image search benefit, as do all of the appended characters.
To link to a larger view of an image in a rich text CMS field, I just had to double upload the image (one in rich text field, one is assets) and link the CMS upload to the asset upload. So convoluted.
