The theme can be complemented by [https://www.drupal.org/project/dxpr_cms '''DXPR CMS'''] which is a customized Drupal distribution offering AI-assisted content creation and 'recipes' for page components. The CMS includes 88 carefully selected Drupal modules organized by functionality to provide comprehensive functionality out of the box. The recipes pull together the underlying codebase to surface these content types or features: Case Studies, Events, Forms, Analytics, News, SEO Tools. One key module in the CMS is the '''[https://www.drupal.org/project/dxpr_builder DXPR Builder].''' Builder is the AI page-builder for Drupal.

Both Divi and Elementor perform well on pages of simple and moderate complexity. The current version of Divi shows poor performance on complex pages.
