Filtering capacitors — Filtering capacitors are used to smooth out the power supply's voltage fluctuations.

Minimizing signal interference and optimizing performance — Proper layout reduces signal noise and interference, improving circuit function.

As close as possible to the power and ground pins of ICs — Decoupling capacitors provide a local reservoir of charge to ICs, reducing noise.

Connectors (e.g., USB, Ethernet) — Connectors allow for external device connections.

To identify component placement and markings — Silkscreen provides component outlines, reference designators, and other helpful information.
