To match both all pages on the domain and all subdomains and pages, you should use the following wildcard pattern:

text

```auto
*example.com/*

```

This pattern is versatile and accomplishes both objectives:

1. It matches all pages on the domain: The trailing `/*` ensures that all pages under the main domain are included.
2. It matches all subdomains and their pages: The leading `*` before the domain name allows for any subdomain to be matched[

This wildcard pattern is particularly useful because:

- It covers the root domain ([example.com](http://example.com)) and all its pages.
- It includes all possible subdomains (like [www.example.com](http://www.example.com/), [blog.example.com](http://blog.example.com), etc.) and all pages under those subdomains.
- It’s more comprehensive than just `example.com/*`, which would only match pages on the main domain but not subdomains[

It’s important to note that writing just `example.com` will not work for matching all pages and subdomains. The asterisks at the beginning and end are crucial for achieving the desired broad matching[
