Some weeks ago, I changed the address path of one of my sites from example.com/product to example.com/main/product, because I had to move to another hosting and the change of path appeared inoffensive.

Some months ago it was top search in Google for my keywords, but now it disappeared, not even on the first Google pages.

I would like to know if:


Is this path change enough to have lost all the traffic I had previously gained?
Should I return to the previous example.com/product path page after these weeks, or should I preserve it?
Is the previous traffic completely lost now? Should I focus on getting it back or start building traffic from scratch again?
Is somehow the previous traffic being redirected to the new path?
Does the hosting change affect rankings?
Could the new hosting be limiting the SEO effect in exchange for an additional payment?
