How can PHP developers optimize the performance of dropdown menus with a large number of options to avoid usability issues?

Dropdown menus with a large number of options can lead to usability issues such as slow loading times and difficulty in navigating the menu. To optimize the performance of these dropdown menus, developers can implement techniques such as lazy loading, where options are loaded dynamically as the user interacts with the menu, or using search functionality to quickly find specific options. 

<select>
    <option value="">Select an option</option>
    <?php
    // Code to fetch and display options dynamically
    ?>
</select>
