I can't see adding a Pi3 making it significantly faster than the Pi4 running solo, both are hamstrung by lack of hardware encryption (assuming your site is SSL), the Pi3 hasn't got gigabit ethernet and doesn't have a lot of memory for caching.
A Pi5 should make a far faster server but I've never tried that yet and don't intend to. I had Pi4's as home servers for about two years and they were continually flattened by commercial search-bots who think its fine to download your whole site multiple times a day over multiple IPs without any attempt at rate limiting.
