Rate Limiting

This package can limit the number of transformations the image transformation route processes per path and IP address within a given time frame.

The rate limit applies only to new transformation requests and does not affect previously cached images.

By default, rate limiting is disabled for the local and testing app environments so it doesn't distract you during development. You can configure the rate limit settings in the image-transform-url.php configuration file.

php

/*

| Rate Limit

| Below you may configure the rate limit applied to each image transformation
| by path and IP address. It is recommended to set this to a low value,
| e.g. 2 requests per minute, to prevent abuse.
