Getting a lot of pops & crackles


I’m using  Linn Sondek turntable with an AKG cartridge and, of late, I’ve noticed a lot of pops and crackles on records which previously sounded pretty clean. Could this be due to the cartridge getting old?
Thanks

No.
Yes.
What exactly are you doing, cleaning-wise, with your records, stylus, and platter?
