Been there! Two things:

1. Always check `response.encoding`. Sometimes the text comes out garbled because of wrong encoding. Fix it with `response.encoding = 'utf-8'`.

2. If Jupyter’s being slow, try splitting your scraping into smaller chunks. Like, scrape one section at a time instead of the whole page.

Also, this site (https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/) is the OG beautiful soup docs—super helpful for debugging.
