High ping in CS:GO can often be traced back to your internet connection. First, try restarting your router and check if other devices on your network are using bandwidth-heavy applications. If your internet speed seems good, the issue might be the server location you're playing on. Aim for servers closer to your geographical location to minimize ping.

Just wire it up! WiFi is convenient but using an Ethernet cable can give you a more stable connection and potentially lower your ping.

Sometimes, it's just not in your control. If you've done all you can with your setup and connection, the server itself might be having a moment. Peak times can also lead to higher ping, as more players are online. Patience or server-hopping might be your best bet.

It's all about that internet speed, my friend. Another thing to look into is if your PC is running heavy programs in the background. Those can gobble up your bandwidth and spike your ping faster than you can say "Bomb has been planted." Keep it lean!

Honestly, sometimes it's just your ISP throttling your speed. Might wanna check on that.
