Here is my quick list:
1. Enable HTTP/2
2. Enbale Gzip
3. Use a tool like [Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/) to ensure you are following best practices in terms of performance
4. Cache smartly using Service Worker
5. Optionally consider adding a CDN

Yes, website speed is one of the main ranking factors. Google will throw the site back if the speed is slow. There are many factors contributing to increasing your site’s speed.
- Use a good caching plugin
- Register in Cloudflare
- Reduce unused javascript
- keep an eye on your site’s core web vitals via speed insight
