Hello! i only had the two wisdom teeth on my right taken out. the online information ive come across clearly refers only to getting all 4 done. is my recovery time faster? can i eat harder foods if i only use my left side?

It would be wise to continue with a soft diet until the wounds heal.

Advantages to having both sides done at once include only 1 surgical experience instead 2, and only 1 anesthetic experience. It wld be best to follow your Oral Surgeon's post-surgical instructions. To avoid risk of trauma to the surgical sites, be conservative rather than aggressive.
