Lag spikes in CS:GO can be super annoying, but there's hope! Start by checking your internet connection; a wired connection is always more stable than WiFi. Make sure to close any bandwidth-heavy programs running in the background (think streaming services, downloads, etc.). Lowering your in-game graphics settings can also help reduce the load on your system. And don't forget to update your drivers and the game itself, outdated software can sometimes cause issues.

Had this issue for ages, turned out my antivirus was the culprit. Make an exception for CS:GO in your antivirus settings or switch to a more gaming-friendly one.

Hot take: if you're still getting lag after trying everything, it might be your ISP failing you at peak times. Might wanna check on that if the issue persists.
