Lowering your ping in CS:GO can make your gameplay smoother and more enjoyable! Try connecting to the internet via an Ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi for a more stable connection. You can also close any background applications that use the internet, like downloads or streaming services. Check if your router needs a reset, sometimes it's as simple as turning it off and on again. And if possible, play on servers that are geographically closer to you.

Quick tip: sometimes your ISP is the culprit. If you've tried everything and your ping is still a Hindenburg disaster, it might be worth giving your internet provider a call. Maybe they have throttling issues or there’s an upgrade available that you're not aware of.

Just move closer to the server, lol. But seriously, server location affects ping massively. If you're playing on a server halfway across the world, expect high ping.
