Lag in CS:GO can be such a buzzkill. First thing, check your internet connection; a wired connection beats Wi-Fi for stability any day. Lowering your game settings can also help, especially the graphics and resolution. If you're still struggling, try limiting background applications that hog your net or CPU. And don't forget to update your game and graphics drivers! Sometimes it's the simple fixes that make all the difference.

Honestly, all these tips might help, but if your PC is just old, it might be time for an upgrade. CS:GO isn't super demanding, but it still needs a decent setup to run smoothly.

Had terrible lag till I found out my brother was streaming 4K videos while I was playing. Make sure no one else is using up all the bandwidth in your house. Also, tweaking your in-game settings to lower visuals helped me a ton. Don't overlook those background updates either; pausing them did wonders for my gameplay.
