There are 11 Estus Flask Upgrade Shards in Dark Souls 3. Finding all of their locations is needed for the Ultimate Estus Trophy / Achievement. By giving them to the blacksmith in Firelink Shrine you can increase the number of Flasks you can carry. You start out with 3 estus + 1 ashen flask. Combined with the 11 estus shards this brings you to a total of 15 flasks.
Since these are your health/mana potions it is highly advantageous to get them as soon as possible. It will let you survive longer and thus makes things easier for you.
None of them are missable! You can still get them after beating the final boss. This video guide shows them in the order in which they can be obtained (early game areas first, endgame areas last). In your inventory you can see how many you have. At the blacksmith you can turn ashen flasks into estus flasks and vice versa.
Remember that you must also pick up the 10 Undead Bone Shards to increase the amount of HP/FP restored with each flask use. Aside from that the Undead Bone Shards will also earn you the Ultimate Bonfire trophy / achievement.
