I still regularly see sites that claim AA or AAA compliance and even at first glance they obviously aren't often because of colour contrast. I'm glad you mention about 404 error pages. Something I try to promote is good error pages and with most content management systems it is fairly simple to ensure that a 404 page has consistent navigation with the rest of the site, and includes a site map (and search box if applicable to the rest of the site), and of course the message needs to be appropriate i.e. helpful without being patronising or accusatory.

You cannot just rely on an automated accessibility parser. As Grant Broome explained, whilst automated testing is useful, it cannot replace a manual review or direct user testing.
