It might not be you, it could be your Internet Service Provider (ISP) having a moment. Sometimes, they face issues that spike your ping, no matter what game you're playing. A quick call or a router restart might sort it out.

Server selection is key! If you're playing on a far-away server, your ping will suffer. Stay close to home for the best connection.

Guys, it's simple. Wired connections over WiFi, every time. WiFi is convenient but it's not the champ of stable connections. Plug in that Ethernet cable and watch your ping drop.

High ping in CS:GO can be really annoying, right? It's usually because of your internet connection. First, make sure you're not downloading anything in the background. Even your phone updates can eat up bandwidth! Another tip: try connecting to a server closer to your location. Playing on a server on the other side of the world will definitely spike your ping.
