I noticed that any link pointing to React Native website has a very generic title: "React Native | A framework for building native apps using React". Using the Sharing Debugger https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/ I found that we are setting `og:url` which acts as redirect for Facebook crawlers. However, `path` is never set for `<Site>` element, which means we always get a URL to the index page with the generic title mentioned above.
