Why should you avoid drop-down menus on navigation?

From a design standpoint, however, drop-down menus are an excellent feature because they help clean up a busy layout.
When should you use a drop down menu?
Offering drop-down menus can help users avoid scrolling and can quickly get them access to your site's content. For large websites, drop-down menus can save users time by allowing them to jump down a level or two to get to the content they seek.
Do dropdown menus affect SEO?

The user experience could potentially slow the site speed or discourage mobile navigation on your site but in terms of meta data, content and rankings, dropdown menus are simply a navigation item.
How do I keep a drop down menu open in HTML?
Use any element to open the dropdown menu, e.g. a <button>, <a> or <p> element. Use a container element (like <div>) to create the dropdown menu and add the dropdown links inside it. Wrap a <div> element around the button and the <div> to position the dropdown menu correctly with CSS.
