Your website will continue to run as usual, but you will not be able to create or edit content or configuration that relies on Site Studio.

Your website does not rely on the Site Studio API to run. The API is only called when creating or editing pages that use the Layout canvas and when using Site Studio to create website styles and templates.

If the API isn't accessible, your website will continue to run as usual, but you will not be able to edit the content on the layout canvas or edit and create new templates and styles.
