        I would suggest Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARRP), but since your main concern is performance - be wary of large sites.  This plugin can be resource intensive on large WordPress sites, in which case it is to your advantage to use YARRP Experiments to control the cache and throttle.

          To add to Bradley's answer, which would be my choice plugin, after it's installed you can test it with webpagetest.org or Google PageSpeed Insights - and basically see if any of it's elements are causing a slow load time, and you can use things like caching or a cdn to work against any slowness the feature might add.

            Dan Shure thanks for the answer. With that pluggin (YARRP) that i used on my web before, my page speed significantly increased. I am know using zemanta related post. Although i can not manage to place the related posts on pages.

            They give this code to place related posts were you want  but it seems i am doing something wrong as i can not find the correct place for the code.

            Also heard about nrelated. And i have used shareaholic before but also a problem with site speed made me change to zemanta.

            In all of them as my website as 4000 pages, i have a increased database slow in posting new posts, but my main concern is about user experience and a faster website

              Unfortunately I don't know enough of the specific intricacies of how each plugin performs for speed. But you pretty much named all the top plugins I can think of.

              What I am suggesting is, to choose your favorite plugin and then use caching and maybe even a CDN to help with pagespeed.

              Webpagetest shows you are using neither right now: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140108_9E_b84581251c692e8e31f098c5f3ad5917/ - and it shows that images are not compressed either.

              So in other words, make everything else about the site as fast as possible.

              If you examine the waterfall view for example, there is a file taking over 1.3 seconds to load --> http://screencast.com/t/UooUNXsuiZ

              Here's one of the best posts I've ever seen on speeding up wordpress - http://www.wphub.com/tutorials/speeding-up-wordpress-website/

              • Should H1s be used in the logo? If they are and it is dynamic on each page to relate to the page content, is this detrimental to the site rather than having it in the page content?
