Best answer

Lag spikes in CS:GO are a real pain, especially when you're about to make that game-winning shot. First off, check your internet connection speed to make sure it's stable. If you're on WiFi, try switching to a wired connection for a more stable and faster internet connection. Sometimes, just restarting your router can work wonders. Another tip is to close any background applications that might be hogging your bandwidth. You'd be surprised how much bandwidth those sneaky background updates can consume.

Just plug in an Ethernet cable, fam. WiFi is a gamble for online gaming.

Lower your graphics settings. I know it sounds unrelated, but higher graphics settings can actually cause your game to lag if your PC can't handle it. It's all about finding that sweet balance.

Honestly, I had the same issue and thought it was my internet, but it turned out to be my old router not being able to keep up. Upgraded to a new one and it was like night and day. Also, make sure your PC is up to scratch; sometimes it's not your internet but your hardware struggling to keep up with the game.
