Don't put too much stock in a Show HN. They are extremely hit or miss depending on the time you submit. You might get thousands of hits, you might get 20.
The only thing you should would worry about is making sure if there is a spike that your site doesn't crash.
The other things you're talking about are not optimizing for a Show HN, they are optimizing for a successful landing page.
