Matomo should run on most MySQL versions. However, we only support MySQL 5.5 and newer. It should also work with MariaDB and other MySQL compatible databases. From Matomo 6 onwards, MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.6 will be required at minimum.

Nothing breaks. The plugin checks your PHP and database versions before downloading an update, and if your server cannot run the new version the update is stopped with a message telling you which requirement is missing. Your existing install keeps working and keeps tracking as before. You can see the versions your server is running at any time under "Matomo Analytics" -> "System Report" in your WordPress admin. Once your hosting provider has upgraded your server, the update will go through as normal.

Tracking: We support pretty much all browsers even very old browsers Admin: The Matomo UI does not support IE9 or older.
