Beautifulsoup parse thousand pages - python-3.x

Question

I have a script parsing a list with thousands of URLs.
But my problem is, that it would take ages to be done with that list.
The URL request takes around 4 seconds before the page is loaded and can be parsed.
Is there any way to parse really a large amount of URLs fast?
My code looks like this:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
#read url-list
with open('urls.txt') as f:
content = f.readlines()
# remove whitespace characters
content = [line.strip('\n') for line in content]
#LOOP through urllist and get information
for i in range(5):
try:
for url in content:
#get information
link = requests.get(url)
data = link.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "html5lib")
#just example scraping
name = soup.find_all('h1', {'class': 'name'})
EDIT:
how to handle Asynchronous Requests with hooks in this example? I tried the following as mentioned on this site Asynchronous Requests with Python requests:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import grequests
def parser(response):
for url in urls:
#get information
link = requests.get(response)
data = link.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "html5lib")
#just example scraping
name = soup.find_all('h1', {'class': 'name'})
#read urls.txt and store in list variable
with open('urls.txt') as f:
urls= f.readlines()
# you may also want to remove whitespace characters
urls = [line.strip('\n') for line in urls]
# A list to hold our things to do via async
async_list = []
for u in urls:
# The "hooks = {..." part is where you define what you want to do
#
# Note the lack of parentheses following do_something, this is
# because the response will be used as the first argument automatically
rs = grequests.get(u, hooks = {'response' : parser})
# Add the task to our list of things to do via async
async_list.append(rs)
# Do our list of things to do via async
grequests.map(async_list, size=5)
This doesn't work for me. I don't even get any error in the console, it is just running for long time until it stops.
