Overview

django-secux is a comprehensive Django package that combines security protection with performance optimization features, including rate limiting, static file minification, and image compression.

Features

  • Intelligent Rate Limiting: Protects heavy-load pages based on real usage patterns
  • Static File Optimization: Minification for HTML, CSS, JS
  • Fake CDN System: Image compression with on-demand resizing
  • Easy Integration: Simple decorator-based implementation

Installation

pip install django-secux

Add to your Django project:

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_secux',
]

# For minification support
MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'django_secux.middleware.Minify',
]

Apply migrations:

python manage.py makemigrations django_secux
python manage.py migrate

Usage

Rate Limiting

from django_secux.decorator import ai_ratelimit

@ai_ratelimit()
def protected_view(request):
    return HttpResponse("Protected content")

Fake CDN System

  1. Add to your main urls.py:
from django_secux.views import cdn_serve

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('cdn/<path:file_path>', cdn_serve, name='cdn'),
]
  1. Run collectstatic:
python manage.py collectstatic
  1. Use in templates:
<!-- Basic usage -->
<img src="/cdn[ STATIC ]">

<!-- With resizing -->
<img src="/cdn[ STATIC ]?size=250">

Static File Optimization

The package automatically handles:

  • Minification of HTML/CSS/JS
  • Font optimization
  • Image compression (when using Fake CDN)

Configuration

# settings.py

# Security messages
SECUX_MESSAGES = {
    "blocked": "This page is temporarily blocked. Please try again later.",
    "rate_exceeded": "Rate limit exceeded. This page is blocked temporarily.",
}

# Static/media files locations
SECUX_STATIC = [
    STATIC_ROOT,
    *STATICFILES_DIRS,
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media/uploads"),
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "protected/images"),
]

Contributing

We welcome contributions! Please report issues or submit pull requests on GitHub.

Key areas for contribution:

  • Additional optimization features
  • Improved rate limiting algorithms
  • Enhanced Fake CDN functionality

This documentation now has clear sections, better organization, and emphasizes the Fake CDN system requirements (collectstatic) while maintaining all the original information in a more professional structure.
