Absolutely!
This helps stop developers from putting lazy API calls on the client side instead of caching, for example.
For instance if my website includes a feed of my latest posts to a third party service I should be caching them myself and serving direct to visitors, rather than using a client side request coming from every visitor's browser.
Obviously this sounds like common sense but you might be surprised :)
