# CacheBehaviorPerPathProperty

`CacheBehaviorPerPath` is a property of the [AWS::Lightsail::Distribution](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-lightsail-distribution.html) resource. It describes the per-path cache behavior of an Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

Use a per-path cache behavior to override the default cache behavior of a distribution, or to add an exception to it. For example, if you set the `CacheBehavior` to `cache` , you can use a per-path cache behavior to specify a directory, file, or file type that your distribution will cache. If you don’t want your distribution to cache a specified directory, file, or file type, set the per-path cache behavior to `dont-cache` .
