Openings Explorer on this very site offers moves in frequency order; from the most- to least-frequently played at Master/database level. Give it a pop.
How do I find "Most Common Moves" against an opening?

Lichess Opening Explorer is much better for this because it has a database of games played on Lichess, so you can filter for your level and see what you will actually face, not what is played in master games. Note that Lichess ratings are a few hundred points higher than chesscom ratings as they use a different system.

I'd say it's better to learn what is good at top level rather than your current level. You'll just have to re learn when you get out of that ratings range.
For example, I'm trying to learn the Ponziani because of all the early material it can win you, and in the GothamChess video about it, he talked about the most common responses, with Nf6 being most common, Bc5 being second most, and d5 being fourth most. I was just curious, where do you find this stuff? I think it would be helpful for learning openings in general.
