Ranking for 117.455 keywords seems rather as a content mass thing than backlinks.

Google loves website which is fast, Slow website getting errors which you can monitor via GSC or page insights

So, my website ranks for some keywords and I have already some traffic, about 180 visitors/day. I know that its speed is slow, some pages take up to 2 seconds to load. I guess most is between 1 and 2 seconds.
I didn't wanted to buy a new host because mine hasn't expired yet and it would be a new cost to the website.
But I want to understand what I'm losing for having a slow website.
If I bought a faster host, my website would significantly rank better? Or it's not that important?

I would suggest you to Upgrade your hosting to improve your website speed and this will also enhance UX and may impact search ranking positively.

also:
Use of Canonical Tags: Implement canonical tags to handle duplicate content issues, especially for products that appear in multiple categories. This tells search engines which version of a page to prioritize, preventing SEO problems related to duplicate content. Canonical tags are essential in e-commerce sites where products can be accessed through multiple URLs.
