CS:GO might lag for a bunch of reasons! It could be your internet connection not keeping up with the game's demands, or maybe your PC or laptop's hardware is struggling a bit with the game's requirements. Don't forget to check if you've got a bunch of background apps eating up your resources, or if the game's settings are cranked up higher than your system can handle.

Honestly, it's probably your PC. CS:GO isn't that heavy, but if you're on an old rig, it might struggle. Time for an upgrade?

Lag in CS:GO? Easy fix: upgrade your internet! But seriously, sometimes it's just about turning off other devices that hog your WiFi. Worked for me.

Check the game's server status. Sometimes, it's not you or your setup. The game's servers could be having a rough day, causing lag for everyone.
