 * Hi. I added an exception to “Never cache the following pages” like this: compare*,
   but the plugin still caches the compare page.
    I see headers for it: Date: Tue,
   27 Aug 2019 20:56:20 GMT Expires: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 21:56:20 GMT
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcache-exceptions-dont-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@kodolex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kodolex/),
 * I am sorry about the issue you are having with excluding pages from the cache.
   
   You should add it like this: /compare/ Please check this [article](https://www.dropbox.com/s/kv1qi3rzi13wef7/How%20to%20exclude%20page_pages%20from%20cache_.docx?dl=0)
   for guidance.

 * Ok, thanks, I added it as “/compare/”. But when add a product or remove a product
   to compare, the page still loads from the browser cache. You can try it too.
   
   When I refresh the page manually, it correctly reloads from the server. What 
   could be the problem?

 * Hello [@kodolex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kodolex/),
    Does the issue
   persist if you disable W3 Total Cache?

 * No, if I disable W3 Total Cache plugin or its “Browser cache” feature, it’s OK.
