 #4753 obfuscated profile links by passing them through an internal
 redirection system, e.g. `https://profiles.wordpress.org/website-
 redirect/dd32`.

 Some URLs lack the `http://` prefix and result in a "User not found"
 message instead of the redirect.

 To reproduce:

 1. Go to `https://profiles.wordpress.org/drosendo/`.
 2. Click the Website URL.
 3. You're redirected to `https://profiles.wordpress.org/website-
 redirect/www.rosendo.pt`.
 4. The page displays a "User not found" error message, instead of
 proceeding with the redirect.
