Try updating your graphics driver and verifying your game files through Steam. Outdated drivers and corrupted files can cause unexpected lag spikes.

Quick CS:GO lag fixes usually involve checking your internet connection first - go wired if you can, WiFi is often less reliable. Lower your game's graphics settings too, since high settings can sometimes cause lag spikes. Also, make sure to close any background apps that might be eating up your bandwidth or processing power.

Honestly, just get better internet. CS:GO doesn't ask for much.

Had this issue last month! Lowering my screen resolution and setting the game to full screen instead of windowed mode made a world of difference. Also, keep an eye on your PC's temperature; overheating can cause lag too.
