Start by deactivating all of your plugins to explore whether any could be responsible. If none are, keep all your plugins deactivated and then switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme to explore whether it’s a theme issue.
Is it taking a while to load for you?

Yes, but it’s not worth worrying about how long exactly because there are too many variables to test the same 30 second speed issue.

From this, I suspect that you have some queries to the database that are taking way too long. You could using something like Query Monitor to track down what is happening.
From there you should optimize the queries and then invest in using caching for both the database queries and static html caching.
DB Query Caching (requires memcached) – https://wordpress.org/plugins/apc/
HTML Caching – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/
Then there is also the content size of your page, at 5mb it’s pretty hefty. I’d look at optimizing the images as much I could to reduce total page size.
