+### Regular expression limits
 
-Each rule supports a maximum of 64 regular expressions(regex), regardless of your domain's plan level. 
+Cloudflare has a few limits in place regarding regular expressions. One of those limits is that each rule supports a maximum of 64 regular expressions (regexes), regardless of your domain's plan. 
+
+You can use the following strategies to reduce the number of regular expressions in a rule:
+- Use the [`contains`](/ruleset-engine/rules-language/operators/#comparison-operators) operator.
+- Use the [`wildcard`](/ruleset-engine/rules-language/operators/#wildcard-matching) / [`strict wildcard`](/ruleset-engine/rules-language/operators/#wildcard-matching) operators.
+- Use the [`starts_with()`](/ruleset-engine/rules-language/functions/#starts_with) and [`ends_with()`](/ruleset-engine/rules-language/functions/#ends_with) functions.
