Honestly, just get better internet. CS:GO needs stable connection more than anything.

Lag spikes in CS:GO were driving me nuts until I realized my PC was overheating. Cleaned out the dust, and it was like night and day. Also, make sure there's nothing running in the background. Discord once ruined my gameplay; closing it made a huge difference.

Lowering your resolution and adjusting your graphic settings can work wonders. Plus, verify the integrity of game files through Steam. Sometimes a corrupt file is all it takes to mess up your game.

First off, make sure your internet isn't the culprit. A wired connection is always better than WiFi for gaming. Then, dive into CS:GO's settings. Lower your video settings and make sure your game is updated. Sometimes, it's just about freeing up that RAM, so close other programs that are hogging your system's resources. If all else fails, it might be time to check if your hardware needs an upgrade.
