Implement rate-limiting rule for non asset-file requests

# Define the rate limit zone
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=10r/s;

server {
    # Exclude CSS, JS, and image files from rate limiting
    location ~* \.(css|js|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|webp|svg|ico)$ {
        # No rate limiting applied for these file types
        # You can put other configurations here if necessary
    }
    
    # Apply rate limiting to all requests
    location / {
        limit_req zone=one burst=10 nodelay;
    }
}

The above nginx config will process the first 10 requests from the same IP address for non-asset file requests, and will continue procesing the next 10 requests right away, and reject the 21th request and afterwards. This is useful to prevent DDoS attack.
