In short, no there is no standardized size for images on the web. It all depends on your layout and should adjust based on the viewport (aka responsive). Sometimes a big image is needed, sometimes it is smaller. Again, there is no definitive size. Whatever fits your content the best.
Of course do keep in mind that bigger images make your pages heavier so make your best judgement call.
The width for the image of around 1200px is very great choice. It works better on many screen sizes. Always keep the images files size small because it can slow down your website loading time.
The ideal size for an article’s top image can vary depending on the platform or website you’re using. However, a common recommendation for a standard article header or featured image is around 1200 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall (1200x600 pixels). This aspect ratio provides a good balance for most websites and ensures that the image looks appealing when displayed at the top of an article.
Keep in mind that some platforms may have specific guidelines or recommendations for image sizes, so it’s a good idea to check the guidelines of the website or content management system you’re using.
Additionally, you might want to consider optimizing your image file
