Another method would be to load google translate asynchronously.

<div class="custom-translate" id="google_translate_element"></div>

<!-- ASYNCHRONOUS Google Translate -->
        <script type="text/javascript">
        function googleTranslateElementInit() {
          new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE, autoDisplay: false},'google_translate_element');
        }

        (function() {
          var googleTranslateScript = document.createElement('script');
          googleTranslateScript.type = 'text/javascript';
          googleTranslateScript.async = true;
          googleTranslateScript.src = '//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit';
          ( document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0] ).appendChild( googleTranslateScript );
        })();
        </script>   
    <!-- End script -->

As commented by John Conde, I put the script at the bottom of the page and hey presto, page load
