Spider or Spider mites?

Noticed webbing on my pineapple guava tree. I gave the tree a look over and didn’t see any pests. Is this a spider web or the beginning of spider mites 😭

Spider mite webs tend to stick very close to the plant. This is loose enough that it's definitely just a regular spider. Based on build, I'd guess it may be a filmy dome spider or a relative just starting to build its web
