Piwik server down

Hi all, may be a silly question, but having inherited the server here we need to run some security patches which in theory shouldn’t cause a problem, therefore I have a relatively general question about how our sites would react should the PIWIK site not be available?

Would our sites just fail to report stats back but still perform as expected or would they complain to the users accessing them?

You see, a relatively simple question, but one I need to understand so I take the appropriate actions before performing the updates.

Hello,
See this newly added FAQ: When the Piwik server is unavailable (down) how does this affect my websites loading speed and tracking data collection? - Analytics Platform - Matomo

Brilliant, just what I needed to know. Thanks Matt.
