Exclude a page from the cache
Stop a page, a query parameter or a cookie from ever being cached — and the defaults that are already excluded for shops and signed-in visitors.
Know what is already excluded — Cart, checkout and my-account pages, REST and AJAX requests, previews, search results, and visitors with login, password-protected post, comment or shop session cookies are excluded without any setup.
Open the Exclusions tab — In Zinn® Cache, open Zinn Digital®, Cache, then Exclusions. Zinn® Cache Pro adds rules for individual pages on its Cache rules tab.
Exclude an address — Add one path per line, such as /basket. A trailing asterisk matches everything under it, so /members/* excludes a whole section.
Exclude by query parameter or cookie — A page carrying a listed query parameter is never cached — useful for preview tokens. A visitor carrying a listed cookie prefix is always served a fresh page.
Save and test — Save, then load the excluded page signed out. It should never show hit.
