In short:

Australia's brown huntsman spiders are the fastest, according to a study, yet to be peer-reviewed, of 258 species.

According to the study, huntsman spiders can move at 3.59 metres per second.

What's next?

More research is needed to confirm if there are other, faster species out there that have not been investigated.

It’s not misleading at all, a cheetah can only run a relatively small distance at top speed yet no one would claim it’s not the fastest runner just because a human can run further.
