Does parsed data improve speed

Hello, let's say I parse data this way. Does it make my website faster / lighter when I use this query in the frontend, because I return just the stuff I want?

const PokemonResult = z.object({
    forms: z.array(z.object({
        name: z.string(),
        url: z.string(),
    })),
    base_experience: z.number(),
})

const PokemonResult = z.object({
    forms: z.array(z.object({
        name: z.string(),
        url: z.string(),
    })),
    base_experience: z.number(),
})

And then create a router

export const pokeRouter = router({
  getByName: publicProcedure
  .input(z.object({ name: z.string()}))
    .query(async ({ input }) => {
      const pokemon = await fetch(`https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/${input.name}`).then(res =>
      res.json());
      const parsedData = PokemonResult.parse(pokemon);

      return parsedData;
    }),
})

export const pokeRouter = router({
  getByName: publicProcedure
  .input(z.object({ name: z.string()}))
    .query(async ({ input }) => {
      const pokemon = await fetch(`https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/${input.name}`).then(res =>
      res.json());
      const parsedData = PokemonResult.parse(pokemon);

      return parsedData;
    }),
})

The response from the network request will be slightly smaller, so you might save a couple of kb. I wouldn't do this just to save some data there. However, validating the output, specially when the data comes from an external source is generally a good idea. https://twitter.com/alexdotjs/status/1589007455295397890 You can also validate the output by using .output and putting your schema in there: https://trpc.io/docs/v9/output-validation
