I read the whole website. Do I still need to send my paper to a proofreader?
Yes. This site helps you avoid common mistakes; it does not prevent you from making all mistakes.
How common are "common" mistakes?
My unscientific definition of a "common mistake" is a mistake that I remember. Considering that I have checked thousands of papers with millons of mistakes, the mistakes listed on this site are most likely very common.
I estimate that a common mistake listed here appears in at least 10% of papers (some mistakes probably appear in about 50% of papers). It’s very unlikely that a single paper will not include at least several of the common mistakes listed here.
