Unity OnMouseDown too slow

I am coding a clicker game and I do not want my program to calculate whenever I press the UI. I have tried using OnMouseDown, OnPointerDown and !EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject() but all of them ruin the clicker-feel because you can't spam click. Are there any shorter alternatives? Thank you in advance!

Edit: I've done all the things you've commented and I've found the problem. Whenever I click my mouse button, text appears with the number of coins I get per tap. Therefore, it counts as a UI element, making it not possible to spam-click. I have now turned off the "Raycast Target" for the text and now it works as it should. Thank you for your help!

You can use Input class along with a check:

void Update()
    {
        // Check if the left mouse button was clicked
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            // Check if the mouse was clicked over a UI element
            if (EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject())
            {
                Debug.Log("Clicked on the UI");
            }
        }
    }

Or you can use OnMouseDown on specific object where you want to detect the click but with a UI check: void OnMouseDown() {

        // Check if the mouse was clicked over a UI element
        if (EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject())
        {
            Debug.Log("Clicked on the UI");
        }
   
}
