1-Phenyl-1-chloroethane is a secondary halide. Most secondary halides undergo Sn1 reactions quite slowly. Why does it go faster?

Yeah, resonance stabilizes the carbocation. It works like this: the delocalized electrons "distribute" the positive charge all around the aromatic ring. Therefore the carbocation is favoured by the equilibrium and the reaction goes faster.

Resonance stabilisation of the intermediate carbocation.
Draw them out, and you will see that the + charge can be put all over the place. This makes it more stable, and the reaction more likely to go by this route.
