You’re correct, the regular expression /^\/exclude-directory.*/ will exclude the pages listed above. It will also exclude the first level page, such as yourwebsite.com/exclude-directory/.
Thank you. How do I change the expression so it does not exclude the first level page?
In other words, I want to exclude the following:
mywebsite.com/exclude-directory/page1/
mywebsite.com/exclude-directory/page2/
mywebsite.com/exclude-directory/page3/
But not exclude “mywebsite.com/exclude-directory/” from being cached.
Also, is there a guide that I can read to learn more about creating these expressions?

You’re welcome! That could be done with the regular expression /^\/exclude-directory\/.+/ instead (https://regex101.com/r/k19zFv/1).
PHP uses PCRE syntax. There are many resources available online that you can learn more about how to create regular expressions. A great place to start would be the PHP docs (https://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php). I’m always happy to help answer any questions about these.
Thank you so much. Will definitely checkout the resource.
