Just move closer to the server, lol. But seriously, sometimes the simplest solutions like restarting your router or optimizing your PC's performance by updating your network drivers can work wonders for lowering ping in CS:GO.

Got lag? No biggie! First off, plug in an ethernet cable instead of using WiFi - wired connections are way more stable and faster. Also, make sure to close any background apps hogging your internet, like streaming services or downloads. And don't forget to check if you're playing on servers close to your location. You wouldn't wanna be in a New York mindset while your server's chilling in Paris!

Quick tip: Use a gaming VPN. Some people think VPNs only add to ping, but a good gaming VPN can actually help route your connection more efficiently, potentially reducing ping. Worked for me!

Honestly, just get better internet. If you've tried everything and your ping's still sky-high, it might be time to have a chat with your ISP or consider upgrading your plan.
