Exclude pages from link checking using the `excludePages` option. When a page matches, none of its links will be inspected.

This is useful when a page renders many external links you don't control or when an entire section of your site should be skipped.

## Usage

```ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  linkChecker: {
    excludePages: [
      '/external-links', // Exact match
      '/embed/**', // All embed routes
      /^\/generated\//, // RegExp pattern
    ],
  },
})
```

The same pattern types are supported as [`excludeLinks`](/docs/link-checker/guides/exclude-links): exact strings, wildcards, and RegExp.
