How To Speed Up My Brute Force Attack [closed]

So I have a brute force attacker, and I wanted to see how long it would take to crack my password. However, when I went to a couple of sites like this that estimate your length or places that calculate how long it would take like this one here, they all say that a six-seven digit password could be cracked in under a second!

How can I speed up my brute force program to match speeds like these?

# Imports
import itertools
import time


# Brute force function
def tryPassword(passwordSet, stringTypeSet):
    start = time.time()
    chars = stringTypeSet
    attempts = 0
    for i in range(1, 9):
        for letter in itertools.product(chars, repeat=i):
            attempts += 1
            letter = ''.join(letter)
            if letter == passwordSet:
                end = time.time()
                distance = end - start
                return (attempts, distance)


password = "123456"
# Allowed characters
stringType = "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`~!@#$%^&*()_-+=[{]}|:;'\",<.>/?"
tries, timeAmount = tryPassword(password, stringType)
print("CyanCoding's BFPC cracked the password %s in %s tries and %s seconds!" % (password, tries, timeAmount)))

Your alphabet set is 93 characters.
your pw is 6 characters

the search space is 93^6 = 646,990,183,449

If you can check 10^7 pw a second, you will still need

646,990,183,449 / 10^7 / (60 * 60) = 18 hours

to crack it.

corollary: if you can only check one million pw per second, you'll need 180 hours (over a week)
