Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:65042 namith.jawahar]:

 Changing slug generation (random suffixes) would likely hurt SEO more than
 it helps:

 Breaks clean, readable URLs and can impact image/content sitemap structure
 Reduces keyword relevance in image filenames
 Can make debugging, CDN usage, and asset tracking harder


 I think this can be handled during site building:

 If a page is important → reserve that slug
 Use slightly adjusted image names (e.g., planet-x-image.jpg)

 I think best addressed through content planning and Information
 Architecture (IA), rather than modifying slug generation logic.
