Python: How can I make this function run multiple times at the same time

Question

So basically I have this function that I run to check if a website exists or not. The problem is that it takes too much time. I have 50 different links to check one by one. Is there a faster way to do it? I'm currently using python 3. I've heard of the module threading but even after reading about it I'm still unsure about how to use it. Do you guys have any good resources I could read or look at to understand a little bit more about it?

Here's my code:

import requests

def checkExistingWeb():
    for i in range(1, 51):
        checkIfWebExist = requests.get("https://www.WEBSITE.com/ABCDE?id=" + str(i), allow_redirects=False)
        if checkIfWebExist.status_code == 200:
            print("\033[92mWeb Exists!\033[0m " + str(i))
        else:
            print("\033[91mWeb Does Not Exist!\033[0m " + str(i))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    checkExistingWeb()

Thanks!

You can use multiprocessing.Pool

https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html

import requests, multiprocessing

def Check_Link(link):
    checkIfWebExist = requests.get(link, allow_redirects=False)
        if checkIfWebExist.status_code == 200:
            print("\033[92mWeb Exists!\033[0m " + str(i))
        else:
            print("\033[91mWeb Does Not Exist!\033[0m " + str(i))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    p = multiprocessing.Pool(5)
    p.map(f, ["https://www.WEBSITE.com/ABCDE?id=" + str(i) for i in range(51)])

This code will create a thread pool and run this on the Check_Link function
