"Onion" refers to the layers of protection, like an onion. Similar to other open-source software, they use other words and terms for things. e.g. on Windows, to go through files and folders on the computer, we have to use Explorer; on Linux, one version is called Nautilus (there are many 'distros' of Linux); part of the 'shell' on Linux is Gnome; there are also things with the name Zeitgeist., sort of similar to Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, etc. Tor, known formerly as TOR - The Onion Router - was created by the US DoD and is both funded by the US government to keep it safe, strong and secure, and also by the US government to break into it, i.e. penetration testing. It was used, originally, for private communications between US government/military departments.
I still maintain that Tor is not as safe and secure as one would hope. Saying that, it is up to each individual to use their own Brain (if they have one) and not be stupid, but keep themselves safe and be careful. To use Tor successfully, never enable Javascript while using it; doing so = not using Tor at all. Javascript works not on the website/server, but on the user's computer.
With all of that being said... good job! You don't have to answer, but a wondering or concern is how you managed to create and own a Torsite yourself, whether you have your own server at home or somewhere, or if you bought server space either from a reputable regular-Internet/clearnet business who allow Tor-usage, or from an in-Tor server. Any option, surely, presents safety and security concerns for you.
I agree with FancyMancy.
I will add some additional info for others.
Tor was and is used for private communication by CIA and many other intelligence agencies/departments around the world. But CIA had and have to allow non-governmental bodies to use it for better anonymity and a much securer way of communication. There are other private ways to communicate but that would be a exclusive governmental body, which means your enemy would surely want to breach into it because it would exclusively have classified data relating to government/intelligence. But here the idea is to push chaotic and unorganized traffic encrypted in layers into this network by letting non-governmental bodies use it from all around the world, it is pretty much like needle in a haystack to find someone or intercept someone if they haven't done something personal that would lead authorities to them. Even when they crack/breach your layers of encryption and of TOR, what would they find? Possibly your IP, the visited website, the the data that traveled, which is why never use it for personal things or write personal things that can lead them to you or narrow their search for you(with they, I mean Jews. If Jews ever tried doing it but actually it's pretty useless because we know our destination that is JoS). The data that CIA would send would be in different kinds of Codes. Which means it would take time to decrypt the data as well, which is why CIA or other intelligence agencies do not fear from using Tor because they have their own codes and languages. When you hear "CIA doesn't use it cuz too many know about it" thats like a psyop, they do use it but not like for every other thing.
Best encryption for extremely classified information/data in a spiritually lowered world is a Human brain. That is why Tor is not a everyday or everything place of CIA and other intelligence agencies. But they do use it. The physical itself is an encryption from the virtual world. Intelligence agencies don't have any "cloud" where they story everything. The information is stored in CD/DVD and some in Hard Disks which are used only when needed otherwise are kept unplugged. USB ports are permanently disabled in these intelligence agencies.
So yeah, there is no such thing as "100% secured". There is only "better or worse". Tor is a 'better' option according to some.
The things that you never have to use on Tor or visit a website on Tor is, things that can expose your real identity(your personal info). Such as visiting a website and using your credit card, real name, main email address used in your jobs, bank, government registrations. Anything personal can lead you to them, basically use Tor as a different person. Okay you are from Brazil? Well from now, you live in South Korea and etc. You have an option to use disinformation/misinformation about yourself, this does help to add an encryption of 'luck'.
(I have explained about decoy/bait websites as well in a okay manner in one of my previous post on a different topic because I am sure some people will have an urge/curiosity to take a look at some "dark web" that they keep hearing about. Better to warn others about it, especially our SS brothers and sisters who we don't want to see in any trouble.)

I also agree with disabling the JavaScript as FancyMancy has pointed it, keeping it disabled is better because someday you are going to wander off to some other website or troll posted URL by mistake.
Also look into the noscript addon that Tor comes with. If you have been using Tor with Javascript enabled on JoS, not much to worry because you 'trust' this end which is JoS but since jew trolls/infiltrators can post their own crap here, it becomes a vulnerable end to some extent, which is why you should not click on a 'suspicious' link posted by any member, especially new members. If there was a suspicious scripts trying to run, such as a cross site scripting attack(pretty common on fake and even on some legit torrent websites). NoScript would have blocked it from running and asked you what to do about it on a popped up window. So do not worry too much, even if you have visited websites that are on the clearnet(the regular internet), the better option now is to disable the JavaScript.
Found these links for people who don't know much about Tor+Javascript.

It is true many intelligence agencies and criminals use Tor for disgusting things but it is a price to pay for a better security and anonymous communication for the intelligence agencies to do their good and dirty work as well.
This is the reason why even media talks about Tor sometimes in a short manner, to let some few people know that something like Tor exists and they need to use it for their NPC stuff, because their NPC stuff is very valuable and needs encryption, xD.
Additional thing I want to add is, in the image below the official site of Tor explains why they did not remove java script completely, and on top why it comes enabled by default(when you install Tor and open it for first time), this is a bit of a validation that the traffic with encrypted NPC/public crap is important here to create a clusterfuck in this network.
As it is said, there is no such thing as "100% secured", keeping it unorganized, chaotic and creating a maze with encrypted layers was a better option than a end to end encrypted communication which enemies find about someday. This was done especially for espionage use, spies/agents who do their stuff mostly in other country, many use Tor but with public wifi though(even in China). Which you may do as well right now or if when shtf for internet censorship. if you are in a first world country, especially in West, if you ever want to use Tor, I do recommend doing this 'using tor with public wifi', all you would need is a cheap laptop to use only for JoS and strictly nothing else in public places that have wifi.
Read my previous post it has additional info and do read the last bit again where I say some stuff and to read documentations and manuals to see what these things are. https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=217956&sid=0b31b75b5e373aa35abdcb109fa9c222#p217956
Pardon my english, my english can be a bit untidy and like cancer to read. I really do strongly recommend reading the documentations and manuals before proceeding to use the Tor network as people can make mistakes. Especially me I can make mistakes by miswording things(English is not my first language). I am a bit free in january so even though it took me 4 to 5+ hours typing this carefully(and my previous post about tor and tails os) mistakes can still happen. So yeah don't skip the documentations, manuals and some research into it.
