3. Enable the **Exclude External URLs** field.

Here are a few examples of URLs you might want to exclude:

- Login page: `https://example.com/login`
- Shopping cart: `https://example.com/cart`
- Checkout page: `https://example.com/checkout`

| Simply paste the URLs of the pages you want to exclude in the **Exclude External URLs** field, and WP Compress will bypass optimization for those pages.
