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'),
]

2. Run collectstatic:

python manage.py collectstatic

3. 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"),
]
