Python Selenium webscraper incredibly slow

I'm a newbie getting into web scrapers. I've made something that works, but it takes hours and hours to get everything I need. I read something about using parallel processes to process the URLs but I have no clue how to go about it and incorporate it in what I already have. Help is much appreciated!

Here is my, still extremely messy, code. I'm still learning :)

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC 
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
