How to improve this sentence?

Question

I am reviewing my resume and I am curious how to improve the following sentence:
 Built a Chrome Extension for social recommendations which reduced recommendation insertion by 90%.
It just doesn't feel right. By recommendation insertion I mean that the time taken to recommend an item was reduced by 90%.
Any ideas how to improve it?

Instead of Built I’d use Created.  And I agree with previous recommendation.
“Created a Chrome extension for social recommendations which reduced insertion time by 90%”

I don't think you need the word "recommendation" twice here, it should be obvious what your extension does by context
The word "insert" may be technically precise, but could be confusing in the context of a resume. I suggest replacing this with "create"

Built a Chrome extension which reduced the time to create a social recommendation by 90%.
