Hello lancewach,

I ran your site through the GTMetrix scanner, and it provided several clues you can see here:

The main issue I saw was the javascripts loading, and pulling from external sites. This can stop your site from loading, since it waits to pull the script from the outside sites before continuing to load.

Also, I recommend using Site caching, which is covered in this guide I did:

I hope this helps,
