Random server spikes?

Industrial · **Author**

I run a 20 person CSS server.

I've looked over all of the plugins I've installed on my server, ran tracerts to my server through hlsw, talked to the company that hosts my server, etc. and I can't figure out why it randomly spikes and lags everyone for a couple seconds at a time.

If anyone has any advice, here is all the info about what I've put on my server. Any help would be greatly appreciated as the server has a decent following that I do not want to disappear because of this issue.

Company that hosts: counter-strike.com
