Tarantula black widow sun spider or daddy long legs which spider is the fastest?

Spiders are not known for being particularly fast, as moving all 8 legs gracefully at once is really difficult. Some tarantulas are very slow while some are very fast. Black widows are tiny and thus are not very fast at all. The "sun spider" is not an actual spider, it is from the order Solfugae, and their speed is often highly exaggerated, though the fastest can run up to about 10 miles an hour. "Daddy long legs" are also not spiders, but Opilionids. They are very slow and clumsy.
