## Start exploring{% #start-exploring %}

Once you've initialized the Browser RUM SDK, you can start using Real User Monitoring with your WooCommerce store.

For example, you can:

- Get valuable insights about your customers' behavior by making data-driven decisions to improve your store
- Increase conversion by watching browser recordings of enriched sessions with [Session Replay](https://docs.datadoghq.com/session_replay.md) or
- [Generate metrics](https://docs.datadoghq.com/real_user_monitoring/platform/generate_metrics.md) from those newly captured sessions
