Hi, the main problem I see is that your images could be optimized (compressed) more, and you should consider loading fewer images when the page loads. None of the AJAX calls made by Views are blocking the page from rendering, and the time it takes for the server to send back the original page markup is really quite fast - 312ms. See images.png attached here. You can see that many of the images are over 200 KB, and each one of those takes about half a second to download. There's nothing Toolset can do about this - the images must be compressed better.
Next, look at the screenshot scripts.png. Your site loads dozens of JavaScript files and CSS files that could be minified and concatenated into a single file. That would also cut down on the number of resources being loaded from the server, which would speed up image load times significantly.
Finally, you've got a lot of animation going on that could be optimized a bit better, I'm seeing a fairly low FPS rate in the inspector during animations- see fps.png
