The one with the biggest amount of transactions is 2,945 tx on it, and tx are each 10 minutes. so, taking about seconds i would say:

2954/60=4.92 transactions/second.
Take note that the smallest figure in that table are from non-full blocks, so if you were to get the average maximum capability of the network,
use only the 100% filled blocks to the computation.

Note: There are some exceeding 100% because the website is using the old maximum block size of 1MB while it should now be 4WU (Weight Units).
Those full blocks with very high percentage above 100 have more SegWit transactions in them

@lhrbeijing For the lightning network, it can't be answered since transactions are done in between channels and their routes.
But considering that the speed of each lightning transaction only take seconds, it would be far higher than in the mainnet.
