Simple way of checking melee attack cooldown on server?

I’m making a melee system that uses RaycastHitbox on the CLIENT-SIDE to achieve more fast and accurate raycasts, I was just wondering if there is a better way to prevent exploiters from attacking too fast on the server. I feel like my method is too complex/im doing something wrong.

local hitTargets = {}
local lastHit = os.clock()
local isAttacking = false

local function onHitEvent(player: Player, hitPart: BasePart)
	print(player, hitPart)
	if not validateHit(player, tool, hitPart) then
		warn(`Failure to validate hit {player.Name}`)
		return
	end

	local hitCharacter = hitPart.Parent
	if hitPart.Name == "Handle" and hitPart:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Accessory") then
		hitCharacter = hitPart.Parent.Parent
	end
	local hitHumanoid = hitCharacter:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local hitPlayer = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitCharacter)
	local hitHumanoidRootPart = hitCharacter:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if hitPlayer then
		local isRagdoll = hitCharacter:FindFirstChild("IsRagdoll")
		isRagdoll.Value = true
		local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", hitHumanoidRootPart)
		bodyVelocity.Velocity = player.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame.LookVector * 20
		task.delay(Configuration.RAGDOLL_DURATION * 0.2, function()
			bodyVelocity:Destroy()
		end)
		task.delay(Configuration.RAGDOLL_DURATION, function()
			isRagdoll.Value = false
		end)
	end

	if not hitHumanoid or hitTargets[hitHumanoid] then
		return
	end
	if not isAttacking and math.abs(os.clock() - lastHit) >= Configuration.ATTACK_DURATION then
		isAttacking = true
		lastHit = os.clock()
		task.delay(Configuration.ATTACK_DURATION, function()
			isAttacking = false
			hitTargets = {}
		end)
	end
	if isAttacking then
		hitHumanoid:TakeDamage(Configuration.DAMAGE)
		hitTargets[hitHumanoid] = true
	end
end
