get_queried_object_id() will return the ID of the current single post or page being viewed, as well as the static front page. For any type of archive page (except date, custom post type and home archives), the following will be returned:
-
Category ID of the category archive being viewed
-

-
Author ID of the current author archive being viewed
-
Term ID for the current term page being viewed
