2001 Starter problems?

2001, 88k miles. Went out to start the car, turned the key, nothing happened. Turned the key several times, nothing. Went in the house for a few minutes, came back outside, she started right up. Battery cables are tight. What is the problem more likely it to be, starter or ignition switch, or something else I'm missing. Thanks.

Impossible to accurately answer this, remove the cables and clean them if not done, if this happens again note if the security lite stays on.
