When uploading images, CS-CART creates individual number string for each image.
What is the purpose of these numbers? for future archive referencing?
Would it be more beneficial to keep or remove them for Search Engine Optimization?

CS-Cart uses caching headers for static resources (e.g. images), lets say that you re-upload the image with different content, if this is the case then you want people to see the new image instead of the old cached image saved by their browsers. Therefore CS-Cart changes the query string meaning that the cache will be busted and the new image will be served.
The same applies for all other static resources (javascript, css, etc.).
I know this is an old thread, but is there a way to disable this in the event you are using a CDN and no longer need this built-in cache-busting? Resources with a query string won't be cached by a browser, and subsequently lowers your speed scores on optimization analyzers (YSlow, Google Insights, GTMetrix, etc).
