If you are running an onion service but don't need to hide the server IP, like you do if you also provide clearnet access to the same server, you should enable single hop mode [0] to reduce the load on the Tor network and also speed up the connections. This way your server directly connects the introduction and rendezvous points while the client still stays anonymous with a 3 hop circuit.

[0]: Search for HiddenServiceSingleHopMode on https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en or just use the following config options

SOCKSPort 0

HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode 1

HiddenServiceSingleHopMode 1
