Something blocking load event?

Question

Something weird appears on a website I developed. Page content is loaded in 5 or 6s, but the DOMContentLoaded and Load Event actually fires after 1m 10s.

enter image description here

When I reload page during loading it loads fast. Any hints welcome !

EDIT: I disabled soundcloud API call, and I'm still in troubles. Server error logs are empty.

Here is a link to the website.

Check for any external script included that may take long to load — Jonathan, May 27 '15 at 18:52
Move that api.soundcloud.com request into an AJAX call so it doesn't delay the page load event. — Blazemonger, May 27 '15 at 19:00
I use the Soundcloud Sdk to handle the request. It loads on window.load, so it should'nt cause trouble? — Vivoo, May 27 '15 at 19:05
Please use the proper tags, this has nothing to do with CakePHP or php at all. — floriank, May 28 '15 at 09:58

The DOMContentLoaded event is fired when the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading.

After the DOM Content is loaded, images, scripts, fonts, etc still need to finish loading.

There lots of ways of improving this events timings.
