Middleware should be near the top
Incorrectly ordered middleware can stop the middleware working as intended.
The order of middleware affections the outcome.
Some middleware should be near the top of the middleware list to ensure it is one of the first to be called.
For example CommonMiddleware, LocaleMiddleware, and SecurityMiddleware should be near the top.
Are you affected? Check with
pip install django-doctor.
Configuring this check
Django Doctor will run this check by default. No configuration is needed but the check can be turned on/off using check code middleware-order-top in your pyproject.toml file.
