First off, make sure your internet connection is as strong as it can be. Wired connections beat WiFi for stability. Next, tweak your in-game settings: lower your graphics settings, update your video drivers, and set your game to a lower resolution. Don't forget to close background applications that hog your bandwidth or CPU. And hey, sometimes a simple router restart does the trick!

Turn off VSync in your game settings. Seriously, it can cause more input lag than you might think. Also, keep an eye on your FPS, ensure it's as high and stable as possible.

I reduced my CS:GO lag by optimizing my launch options. Adding commands like '-high' to prioritize CS:GO in your CPU processing can make a big difference. Do some Googling for a list of helpful command line options!

Honestly, just get better internet. If your net's slow, no amount of tweaking's gonna save you.
