Expected Behavior
LinkedIn should correctly link to the full profile page (e.g. https://monkeytype.com/profile/tryomar).
Steps To Reproduce
Go to LinkedIn and attempt to share a Monkeytype profile link (e.g. https://monkeytype.com/profile/tryomar).
The link redirect to https://monkeytype.com instead of the profile URL.

Technical Details
After researching LinkedIn's sharing requirements here, I found that the issue may be caused by missing or incorrect Open Graph meta tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, and especially og:url) in the profile page's HTML. Without these tags, LinkedIn defaults to using the homepage.
Suggested Fix
Please add proper Open Graph Protocol (OGP) meta tags to user profile pages to ensure that LinkedIn and other social platforms can correctly share them. Example:
<metaproperty="og:title" content="tryomar's Monkeytype Profile" /><metaproperty="og:description" content="Check out my typing stats on Monkeytype!" /><metaproperty="og:image" content="URL_TO_PROFILE_IMAGE_OR_SITE_LOGO" /><metaproperty="og:url" content="https://monkeytype.com/profile/tryomar" />
Adding these tags dynamically for each profile should resolve the issue.
