$wpide_skip = array( '/tag/(.*)', '/events/list/page/(.*)', '(.*)filter_(.*)' ); // URL patterns not to preload.
add_filter( 'rocket_preload_exclude_urls', function ( $regexes ) use ( $wpide_skip ) {
return array_values( array_unique( array_merge( (array) $regexes, $wpide_skip ) ) );

Patterns are regular expressions matched against the URL, e.g. /tag/(.*) or (.*)?filter_(.*).
